Ingredients

1/2 Cup chopped toasted pecans

3 Cups cake flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 Cup butter(room temperature)

3 Cups granulated white sugar

6 eggs(room temperature)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon pure orange extract

8 oz. container sour cream

Extra chopped nuts for garnish

Glaze

1 box confectioner sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 Cup orange juice

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F(150 degrees C).

Grease and flour or sugar a 10 inch tube pan.

Line cake pan with wax paper for easy removal later.

Sprinkle the pecans on the bottom of the cake pan.

Mix together flour, salt and baking soda in another bowl. Set aside.

In large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light & fluffy.

Beat in eggs one at a time, then add flavorings(vanilla and/or orange extract).

Add flour mixture alternately with the sour cream.

Pour the batter over the pecans in the prepared pan.

Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.

Let cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes.

Run a butter knife around edges for easier removal of cake.

Invert cake on a plate and remove the wax paper.

Nuts that were once on the bottom are now on top.

Prepare the glaze and drizzle over warm cake.

Sprinkle chopped pecans over cake.

Take picture so you'll remember what it looks like since it will go quickly!

By sugaring the cake pan, it's just like flouring the pan - but you use granulated sugar. I have also used powdered sugar instead of flour.

I love pound cake and pecans. Never had both at the same time. I can't wait to try this. Do I need a "tube" pan or can I use cake or bread pans? I had one ages ago but it was mangled in a move and I never replaced it.

The sour cream pound cake part of the recipe is just like the one I use, except mine has 3 sticks of butter. The cake has a wonderful texture. The pecans and orange flavoring and glaze are a wonderful addition to a great cake! A 5 but I'd give it 10 if I could!
