6 Flavor Pecan Nut Glazed Pound Cake Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease & flour a 12 cup tube or bundt pan, or use cooking spray. Set aside till needed.
• 2. Combine flour with baking powder & set aside till needed.Cream butter, shortening, & sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat till mixed. Gradually add the flour to the creamed mixture, alternately with the milk. Stir in extracts, & mix well. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan & bake in preheated 325 degree oven for 90 minutes.
• 3. While cake is baking, prepare glaze by combining all of the glaze ingredients in a heavy sauce pan & stir over low heat, until the sugar has dissolved. Poke holes in the cake with a large tined fork or wooden skewer and slowly drizzle the glaze over the top of cake and allow it to soak in, while cake is still in pan. Let cake cool completely before removing from pan.
• 4. NOTE; When I add nuts to the cake, I pour half of the batter into the cake pan, then sprinkle all the nuts on top of batter, & then add the remaining batter, and bake as directed. This just adds another level of texture to the cake with the crunch from the nuts. You can also dust the nuts with one tablespoon of flour and then add them directly to your batter. Stirring to mix in. Dusting the nuts first, prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the cake, and are more evenly distributed throughout batter.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a nonstick Bundt pan (12-cup capacity), tapping out excess flour; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, nutmeg, and baking powder; set aside.
• In another large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add brandy; beat until combined. With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture; beat just until combined (do not overmix). Fold in pecans and raisins.
• Spoon batter into prepared pan. Bake until cake has pulled away from sides of pan and a toothpick inserted in top comes out clean, 1 1/2 hours. Immediately invert onto a wire rack, and let cool completely.
• Set rack with cake over a rimmed baking sheet. In a small bowl, whisk together confectioners sugar and orange juice until smooth. Drizzle cake with glaze.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla. Combine flour and salt; stir into creamed mixture just until combined. Stir in coconut and pecans. , Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. tube pan; spread evenly. Bake at 325° for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• 1. Using a small sauce pan add the 1/2 stick butter with chopped pecans or pecan halves. Toast over medium high heat as butter melts, all the while stirring constantly about 5 minutes
• 2. Add the cream & corn syrup to the sauce pan.(Note I combined the cream & corn syrup into a one cup measure before adding it in.
• 3. Stir mixture to combine.
• 4. Add the brown sugar, stir until it is blended into wet ingredients. Bring to a rolling boil. Cook for 2 minutes. STIRRING CONSTANTLY. REMOVE FROM HEAT. Allow to cool just a bit then stir in butter flavored extract, and stir to blend. NOTE- A ROLLING BOIL IS WHEN YOU BRING TO A BOIL AND IT CONTINUES TO BOIL EVEN AS YOU STIR IT.
• 5. Cool until glaze thickens slightly, then carefully drizzle over top of cake and allow it to drizzle down sides of cake while glaze is still slightly warm. Note- If it hardens too much you will need to reheat, so work quickly.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 325. Generously grease (I use Crisco) and flour and an angel food cake or similar type pan (this will rise and fill the pan nicely). Set aside.
• 2. In a non-stick skillet, using 2 tablespoons of butter, lightly toast the pecan halves, stirring constantly until they begin to release their aroma. Or if oven toasting works for you, as long as they are toasted, allow to cool a few minutes.
• 3. Measure flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda into a bowl; whisk to blend. Set aside.
• 4. Measure sugar and firmly packed brown sugar into a bowl. Mix well to incorporate both sugars. Set aside.
• 5. Crack eggs into one bowl, set aside. Measure buttermilk; set aside. Measure vanilla extract; set aside.
• 6. Grind the toasted pecans to a fine grind; set aside.
• 7. I use a stand mixer, but if you don't have one, use a large mixing bowl and hand mixer. Put butter, sugar, and eggs into mixer bowl. Mix about 10 seconds just to break eggs and begin to stir the butter and sugar, it will not look mixed.
• 8. Now add the flour mixture and begin mixing on low.
• 9. Slowly add the buttermilk, beat about 30 seconds.
• 10. Add vanilla, mix for 3 minutes on medium speed.
• 11. Reduce to low speed and add the nuts. Mix about 30 seconds, then remove from stand and clean beater. Mix by hand to fully incorporate the nuts into the batter, about 1 minute using a folding method of stirring.
• 12. Gently pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Set onto the oven rack and allow to bake for 65 to 75 minutes. At approx. 65 minutes, check the first time using a cake tester or toothpick. Cake is done when tester comes out clean. Top of cake should have a nice golden brown appearance.
• 13. When done, remove cake from oven and place on a cooling rack. DO NOT REMOVE FROM PAN. Make the glaze. Add to a small pot, the glaze ingredients except the vanilla. On medium low temperature, heat to melt sugar but DO NOT allow it to boil. Stir in vanilla.
• 14. Using a wooden skewer or similar object, poke holes all over cake.
• 15. Mix the glaze well and gently pour over entire cake allowing it to absorb into the cake top.
• 16. Let cool in pan, turn out onto a plate. If desired, flip again so cake top is up. It's prettier this way.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
• Mix butter, milk, coconut milk, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl. Combine flour, sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Slowly mix into the milk mixture. Add egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Divide batter between the prepared cake pans.
• Bake cakes in the preheated oven until tops are golden yellow and spring back when lightly pressed, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Prepare frosting while cakes are baking. Combine sugar, evaporated milk, butter, egg yolks, and flour in a saucepan. Heat over medium-low, stirring constantly, until mixture starts to thicken. Add vanilla and stir for 1 minute. Pour in pecans; cook and stir for 2 minutes more.
• Remove frosting from heat and let cool. Remove cakes from the oven and set aside to cool, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Place 1 cooled cake layer on a serving plate. Cover with some of the cooled frosting. Top with the second cake layer. Frost top and sides with remaining frosting.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch Bundt or tube pan. Sprinkle pecans on bottom of pan; set aside. Sift together flour, salt, and baking soda into a medium bowl; set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream butter and white sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Add flour mixture alternately with sour cream. Pour batter over pecans in prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 75 to 90 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 20 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
