Of course, even simple recipes benefit from those little tricks of the trade that we experienced bakers know. That’s why I’ve included the following tips to help make sure you create the most delicious butter pecan pound cake you possibly can. They’re simple tips, but they really make your cake pop.

THOROUGHLY COAT THE PAN
It’s extremely important that you coat the entire inside of the cake pan well with non-stick spray and a light coating of flour. Pans like this are notorious for killing cakes if they aren’t properly prepared, so be sure you get every part of the interior surface of the pan thoroughly coated.

FULLY SOFTENED BUTTER AND CREAM CHEESE
When creaming butter or cream cheese, it’s important that you let them fully soften. When these ingredients are fully softened, they incorporate extremely well into your mixtures, resulting in a texture that is rich, smooth, and creamy. On the other hand, if you don’t let them fully soften, you’ll end up with mixtures that are lumpy and have chunks of butter or cream cheese in them.
