Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or stand mixer
  • Bundt pan or cake pan
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2.5 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 cup buttermilk
  • 2 cups chopped pecans

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 175C (350F) and grease your favorite molds.
  • Beat the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy; add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk.
  • Gently fold in the chopped pecans to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
  • Pour the batter into prepared molds and bake for 55-60 minutes; check for doneness with a toothpick.
  • Prepare the glaze by melting the butter with brown sugar and water in a saucepan, then add the vanilla and powdered sugar until smooth.
  • Pour the glaze over the hot cake and let it cool completely before serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, try toasting the pecans before adding them to the batter. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
