Delicious Southern Pecan Pound Cake From Scratch

I don't know about you, but I am a sucker for a good pound cake. This Pecan Pound Cake is one of the best! So moist and packed full of pecans. This cake has four cups of chopped pecans in it! That is a TON! If you like pecans, you are going to LOVE this cake! There are also two pounds of butter in this cake. OMG! This is definitely an indulgent treat!

How to Make Pecan Pound Cake From Scratch

This Pecan Pound Cake is surprisingly easy to make from scratch. There are only a few simple ingredients and they come together in a snap with the help of a stand mixer. Start with beating the softened butter until it is creamy. This usually takes a few minutes. Next, add the sugars and continue to mix for a good 3 to 5 minutes. Add the eggs and then alternate the flour mixture with milk and stir in the pecans.

I mentioned earlier there are four cups of chopped pecans in this cake. The chopped pecans are tossed in flour before folding them into the batter. The flour will help the pecans from sinking to the bottom of the cake. You can see the pecans are spread throughout the cake. Thank you flour!

One tip for baking is to make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before making the cake. It will create a light and fluffy cake.

I used a tube pan for this Pecan Pound Cake. Make sure to grease and flour the pan well before adding the batter. You don't want it to stick! I like to use baking spray with flour in it - look for Bakers Joy or Pam with flour. They work great!

How Long Does Pound Cake Last?

This Pecan Pound Cake will last 3 or 4 days in an air-tight container on the counter. You can wrap it and keep it in the refrigerator for about a week. You can even freeze pound cake! I like to cut the cake into slices and wrap it in plastic wrap and put in freezer bags. The frozen pound cake will keep about 6 months in the freezer.

What to Serve with Pound Cake

This Pecan Pound Cake is the perfect ending to any meal. I love to make pound cakes for dinner parties and cookouts. Pound cakes are easy to make and serve a crowd. We love to serve this Pecan Pound Cake with some vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce. It is also great with some fresh whipped cream.

A Comforting Braised Pig Feet Recipe Perfect for Your Pressure Cooker

Image
Louiie Victa Chef Jenny Dorsey’s recipe is a testament to the trotter’s versatility When I go grocery shopping, I always look for pig feet. In the sea of unrecognizably standard-looking cuts of animal muscles at grocery stores — disk-shaped loins, round humps of pork butt — trotters are always the anomaly. They look most precisely as they were: feet, hooves, the tired bones and tissue that kept an animal upright its whole life. Unfortunately for pig feet, their look hasn’t exactly made them a popular part of the mainstream American diet. As Cecil Adams wrote back in 2016, one of the challenges in encouraging more Americans to consume offal and organ meat is that “organs resemble, well, body parts: any steak slapped on a plate looks like dinner, while a lovingly presented calf heart may suggest an autopsy.” And, Adams added, there’s the “socioeconomic stigma…that had a racial component too,” which is only exacerbated by “travelogue shows [like] Bizarre Foods .” Despite being mali...

Beyond Impossible: The Sanitarium and World War II Past of Meat Substitutes

Image
Photo by Tom Kelley/Getty Images We’ve come a long way from John Harvey Kellogg’s “protose cutlets” It’s no stretch to say that fake meat is having a moment . With the popularity of brands such as Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat joining fast-food menus and grocery store aisles alike, plant-based meats are no longer seen as a sad option for vegetarians long denied flavor with meat substitutes (though, as we know, plenty of vegetarian food is packed with flavor), but for anyone who enjoys a good burger, fried chicken, or nuggets. But are meat substitutes really the future of eating? Maybe by necessity as food resources run out, but not likely by choice. In fact, despite the big money raked in by Impossible and Beyond over the past few years, industrial meat consumption in America is actually on the rise. This week on Gastropod , Cynthia Graber and Nicola Twilley see how the not-sausage gets made, with visits to the Impossible Meat lab and Meati , a Colorado-based start-up that’...

Without Government Aid, Americans in Need Are Shoplifting Food Essentials

Image
Photo: Niloo /Shutterstock Plus, Colin Kaepernick gets his own Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavor, and more news to start your day More people admit to shoplifting what they need to survive Since the pandemic began, Americans have called for relief for individuals and small businesses. Stimulus checks, rent and mortgage cancelation, and universal health care have all been on the table. But aside from $1,200 months ago, we’ve gotten none of that, and the latest stimulus package is woefully inadequate. So, as the Washington Post reports , more people than ever have resorted to stealing essentials like bread, baby formula, and diapers to survive. Honestly, what did the government expect? WaPo says there’s been a 45 percent increase in the number of Americans facing hunger this year, up to 54 million people. Lines at food banks have been miles long for months, with many saying that mutual aid groups and donations can’t keep up with demand . And with SNAP and WIC programs cut back,...
