Equipment

  • Mixing bowls 
  • Electric mixer or stand mixer
  • Bundt cake pan
  • Cooking spray or butter for greasing

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped pecans toasted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt cake pan or spray it with cooking spray.
  • Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing until just combined.
  • Fold in Pecans: Gently fold in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt cake pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
