Ingredients:

For the Cake:

• 3 Cups of Cake Flour
• 2 Cups of Granulated Sugar
• 1 Cup of Packed Brown Sugar
• 3 Sticks of Butter (at Room Temperature)
• 5 Eggs (at Room Temperature)
• 1 Cup of Whole Buttermilk (at Room Temperature)
• 1/2 Teaspoon of Baking Powder
• 1/4 Teaspoon of Salt
• 1 Tablespoon of Vanilla Extract
• 1 Tablespoon of Pound Cake Extract
• 2 Cups of Toasted Pecans

For the Glaze:

• 2 cups of Powdered Sugar
• 4 oz of Butter
• 4 oz of Cream Cheese
• 4 Teaspoons of Half and Half

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until smooth, taking about 3-7 minutes. Gradually add in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla and pound cake extracts.
2. In a separate bowl, sift together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Beginning and ending with the dry ingredients, gradually add the flour mixture to the butter and egg mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
4. Gently fold in the toasted pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Pour the batter into a greased tube pan and bake for approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes, checking for doneness after 45 minutes. The cake is ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes before transferring to a cake plate. Meanwhile, prepare the thick glaze by mixing powdered sugar, butter, cream cheese, and half and half until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake, ensuring it’s completely covered to seal in moisture and enhance flavor.

ENJOY!!
