Tips to Make PECAN POUND CAKE

Making a butter pecan pound cake can be kind of daunting, if you’ve never made one before. I mean, I know the first time I made it, I was like “hmmm…is this going to work?!” It’s just a lot of liquid and I wasn’t sure what kind of cake was going to appear. But! It turns out there’s nothing to worry about because it’s such an easy dessert recipe.

If you’re still worried, though, I do have some tips to help.

• Make sure you grease that pan well right before you start loading it with the pecans and deliciousness. That way the grease doesn’t pool and your cake will pull away from the sides easily. And don’t forget to grease the spine thing in the middle.
• If you insert a toothpick in the middle of the cake and a little teeny fluffy cake bit sticks to the toothpick, that’s ok. What you’re looking for is gloppy sloppy cake batter. If that’s what sticks to your toothpick, bake for an additional 10 minutes and check again. Repeat until the toothpick comes out clean.

HOW LONG DOES HOMEMADE pound CAKE with nuts LAST?

Definitely don’t plan on it lasting long once you’ve had a taste. Because this easy cake recipe is seriously yummy. If, however, you’re not planning to serve it for a while, you can expect it to be fine at room temperature, in an airtight container for 5-7 days.

Want it to last longer? Pop it in the fridge for 12-15 days in an airtight container.

CAN YOU FREEZE Pound CAKE?

Oh, you’re really wanting that yummy butter pecan pound cake to last for a good long time? Ok. Take that airtight container I’ve been going on about and pop it in the freezer. You can expect that your cake will last between 3-5 months, then!
