A MOIST HOMEMADE POUND CAKE
If there is one timeless dessert recipe that I repeatedly return to, it is pound cake. It has endured through the years for a reason. Every Southern cook possesses a cherished pound cake recipe. There are countless ways to add unique twists to the fundamental recipe!
CAN I SUBSTITUTE WALNUTS FOR PECANS?
Certainly. While pecans are the traditional nut favored in the South, and they are plentiful in this region, they happen to be my personal favorite! However, you can definitely opt for walnuts or even macadamia nuts. I incorporated a small amount of sour cream into this recipe to enhance its moisture. For an even richer dessert, consider serving it with a light drizzle of caramel sauce!
The Southern Pecan Pound Cake recipe is from The Country Cook, with a slice displayed on a small round white plate.
INGREDIENTS REQUIRED:
- chopped pecans
- all-purpose flour
- baking powder
- salted butter
- sugar
- eggs
- vanilla extract
- sour cream
HOW TO PREPARE SOUTHERN PECAN POUND CAKE:
Begin by preheating the oven to 325°F. Lightly coat a 12-cup Angel Food Cake Pan with nonstick cooking spray. I prefer using the nonstick spray that contains flour, as it is specifically designed for baking and makes it easy to release the cake once it has cooled. It is crucial to thoroughly spray the entire interior of the cake pan.
In a small bowl, mix 1 cup of chopped pecans with 1 tablespoon of flour. Stir well and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour with 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Set this mixture aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy. If you are using a stand mixer, remember to scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl occasionally.
Gradually incorporate the eggs, adding one at a time and mixing thoroughly after each addition. Next, blend in two teaspoons of vanilla extract.
After achieving a uniform mixture, gradually introduce the flour mixture. It is essential to add it slowly to ensure complete incorporation and to prevent it from scattering when the mixer is activated.
The flour mixture should be combined with the butter and sugar mixture. Subsequently, mix in the sour cream. Finally, by hand, fold in the floured pecans. The batter will have a thick consistency.
Transfer the batter into a prepared angel food cake pan. Using the back of a spoon, spread the batter as evenly as possible. Top the batter with 1/4 cup of chopped pecans and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sugar.
Bake for approximately 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for an hour before inverting it onto a serving dish.
