Butter Pecan Pound Cake

Butter Pecan Pound Cake 

Butter Pecan Pound Cake - one of the AMAZING pound cakes I've ever eaten! So easy and delicious! Flour, vanilla pudding, butter, pecans, eggs, sour cream and Vanilla, Butter and Nut extract. Only takes a minute to make and it smells amazing while it bakes! I took this to a party and everyone asked for the recipe!

This Butter Pecan Pound Cake was SO delicious! I am not usually a fan of Butter Pecan, but this cake won me over!! It is so buttery, moist and full of amazing pecans! To put the cake over the top, we served it with some Butter Pecan Ice Cream - heaven!

The flavoring in the cake comes from the Vanilla, Butter & Nut flavoring. This was my first time baking with the Vanilla, Butter & Nut flavoring. It is made by McCormick - you can see it here: http://#/29SBrSf. It really made the cake.

Note - I used a tube pan to bake this cake. You can find it here: http://#/29Md0Cn. I've been baking most of my pound cakes in this pan lately. They never stick and there is plenty of room for the cake to rise. If you don't have a tube pan and decide to bake this in a bundt pan, make sure to leave about an inch of the pan unfilled. If you fill it all the way to the top, the cake will spill out all over the oven and make a huge mess. You might have leftover batter if you use a bundt pan, but at least you won't have a big mess in the oven.
