  • FOR THE CAKE:.
  • Preheat oven 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 10" (12-cup) tube pan.
  • Bake pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet 5 - 7 minutes or until lightly toasted and fragrant. (This can be done in a microwave-safe plate in 1 minute increments until the nuts are 'roasted'. Stir every minute for about 3 - 4 minutes total, allowing to sit 5 minutes.).
  • Beat softened butter and cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until yellow dissappears after each addition.

TOASTED BUTTER PECAN CREAM CHEESE POUND CAKE



TOASTED BUTTER PECAN CREAM CHEESE POUND CAKE image

I made this cake for a recent Reunion. Every one wanted to have a taste. It did not disappoint. It really did rise to the occasion.

The cake was...

Categories     Cakes

Time 2h20m

Number Of Ingredients 20

8 oz cream cheese,softened to room temperature
2 stick butter softened
1 stick imperial margarine, softened
1 c brown sugar, firmly packed
2 c white granulated sugar
1 small box butterscotch instant pudding
1 1/2 Tbsp butter pecan flavor
1 Tbsp butter extract
2 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract
3 1/2 c white lily all purpose flour
2 c chopped pecans toasted
6 large eggs room temperature
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 c evaporated milk
EASY TOASTED BUTTER PECAN FROSTING
2 can(s) vanilla frosting or cream cheese
1/2 can(s) canned salted caramel frosting
2 c toasted chopped pecans
1 Tbsp butter pecan extract flavoring
1/3-1/2 c powdered sugar, optional

Steps:

  • 1. Using toasted pecans instead of fresh out of the bag, REALLY ENHANCES THE NUTTY PECAN FLAVOR. PLACE PECANS FOR BOTH THE CAKE & FROSTING ON A SHALLOW BAKING SHEET IN A SINGLE LAYER IN PREHATED 350 DEGREE OVEN AND TOAST FOR 10 TO 15 MINUTES. Remove from oven & allow to cool. LOWER OVEN TEMPERATURE TO 325 DEGREES F FOR THE CAKE.
  • 2. This recipe requires a large capacity Bundt pan. Mine was 16 cup, or you may want to divide batter into 2 smaller pans. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. This is the Butter pecan flavoring I used.
  • 3. Cream the butter, margarine and cream cheese together in mixing bowl until creamy and smooth. Add both sugars and beat until no visible grains are visible in batter. At least 10 minutes.
  • 4. Add eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition.
  • 5. Sift flour and baking powder & butterscotch pudding into a medium size bowl. Add about 1/3 of cake flour mixture to cake batter alternately with milk, in 3 intervals, until all the flour and milk has been added to batter. Then add in the butter pecan, butter & vanilla Bean paste or extract and beat until blended together.
  • 6. Prepare cake pan by spraying generously with Bakers Joy, or grease pan with butter and dust lightly with flour. Pour cake batter into cake pan, leaving at least 1 1/2 to 2 inches from top of pan.
  • 7. Place in preheated 325 degree F. oven and bake for 1 1/2 hours or until tooth pick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • 8. Remove from oven and allow cake to sit in pan about 10 minutes then invert onto a wire rack and allow to cool completely. Notice how cake rose above top of cake pan.
  • 9. Prepare the frosting by combining all of the frosting ingredients except the powdered sugar in a medium size bowl. Use powdered sugar only if frosting is not stiff enough to adhere to cake. When cake is completely cooled, frost cake, and garnish top of cake with additional nuts if desired.
