OLD SCHOOL BUTTER PECAN POUND CAKE

OLD SCHOOL BUTTER PECAN POUND CAKE | September 18, 2023

This butter pecan pound cake is rich, tender, moist, and loaded with chopped pecans. It’s all finished off with a delicious cream cheese frosting that pairs perfectly with the easy cake. It’s a pecan lover’s dream.

Pecan desserts are a southern tradition. From adding them to layered desserts to making them the stars of the show in cakes and pies, pecans are a classic addition to so many different desserts. Over the years, I’ve put pecans in all kinds of recipes.

Of course, hummingbird cake is a classic dessert that features pecans, as is something we like to call “Pink Stuff” down here. It’s a sort of pudding and whipped cream dessert. Also, you’d better believe that I’ve made my fair share of pecan pie. There’s one pecan-based dessert that I love to make more than anything else, though – this delicious butter pecan pound cake.
