I’m a huge pound cake lover. Are you? The tender crumb, the rich buttery flavor, the yummy dense texture. Which other type of cake can deliver on so many fronts? Oh, and the versatility of a pound cake. It makes the perfect rich canvas for so many other wonderful flavors. One of the most delicious combinations of flavors I’ve ever had is this Glazed Bourbon Pecan Pound Cake. This cake is a delicious combination flavor. The Bourbon is accented perfectly with a generous amount of nutmeg. They’re really amazing together. Then this cake has 1 ½ cups of rich chopped pecans and lots of good quality butter, all topped off with a thick caramel glaze. This cake is wonderful to serve for the holidays but because of its simplicity is equally great at home or served at a potluck.

PAN- Use a 12 cup bundt cake pan for this recipe as the cake rises right to the tippy top of the pan. While mine has never overflowed, I’d suggest placing the bundt pan on a rimmed baking sheet before you bake it. BAKING- You’ll want to bake this pound cake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out with just a few moist crumbs. I know! I know! Most recipes call for that toothpick to be totally clean but because pound cake has a denser texture, under baking ever so slightly makes the finished cake significantly moister. But remember, only a few moist crumbs. If the toothpick is covered in crumbs and you pull it out of the oven, it’s going to be more on the raw side. INGREDIENTS- For best results, use only a named-brand all-purpose flour and sugar. Store brands often are more finely ground than their name-brand counterparts. This can result in inadvertently using too much of the dry ingredients in the recipe, which will make your cake have a drier texture. Don’t skimp on the butter. Buy good quality butter because it’s the butter that really gives this cake its rich trademark flavor and texture.
