If you love upside down cakes and pecan pie, you won’t be able to stop eating this buttery Pecan Pie Pound cake. And that salted caramel pecan topping will have your heart!

This Butter pecan pound cake is kind of a cross between old fashioned butter pecan cake and an upside down cake.

Between the sweet salty caramel sauce and buttery vanilla cake, sits a sticky Pecan pie filling. Could you ask for more?

And the best part? You don’t have to prepare caramel sauce and pecan pie filling separately! Just dump all the filling ingredients together and pour cake batter over.

Recipe: Taste & Texture

1. Soft but not crumbly
2. Fluffy and tender crumb
3. Buttery and rich to taste with a light crunch from sweet-salty caramelized pecans

After baking, when inverted the pecan filling will stay on top and the shiny caramel sauce will drip down the cake. My mouth is literally watering as I type this. Ewww!

Pecan Pound cake ingredients:

• Pecan Cake Filling: For making butter pecan cake filling, we will need brown sugar, butter, salt, pecans and some corn syrup.
• Pound Cake Batter: 

1. Butter: Can you imagine any pound cake without butter? 😉
2. Cake Flour: Cake flour guarantees a soft and velvety crumb as it has less gluten than APF. You can make your own Cake flour at home. Check notes!
3. Eggs: For binding and lifting our vanilla pound cake
4. Granulated Sugar: For sweetness. We need 1/2
5. Milk: I recommend full fat milk for a rich pound cake.
6. Little Baking powder: For lift.
7. Vanilla and salt: For flavor.

How to make Pecan pie pound cake?

Now we are employing Reverse Creaming technique to make our vanilla pound cake. This is a simple cake batter mixing technique that assures a soft and velvety crumb.

You can bake butter pecan bundt cake with cake mix. But if you wish to bake a butter pecan cake from scratch with fluffy soft crumb, try Reverse Creaming method of mixing!

How to reverse cream a cake?

• Firstly. we will mix our dry ingredients with room temp. butter to coat the flour.
• Add one egg and some milk and beat thoroughly.
• And then add remaining eggs and wet ingredients in two additions, beating the batter after each. This step helps reducing gluten formation in the batter and it results in a soft and tender crumb.
•  Pour cake batter over pecan filling and bake. This method is comparatively easy that regular creaming as less mixing is involved!

Bundt cake baking problems solved!

should a bundt pan be greased?

Short answer is yes! Greasing promises an easy bundt cake release!

How do you grease a bundt pan?

With some melted butter and flour. Shake off the excess flour out of the cake pan before pouring the batter in. Don’t grease pan with non stick sprays. As they won’t let your cake batter cling to the sides and rise properly!

How do you know when a bundt cake is done?

The cake will start pulling away from its sides. Also, a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.

Should you let a bundt cake cool before flipping it?

Yes, for 10-15 minutes minimum. Don’t be tempted to get the cake out of pan as soon as it comes out of oven. After 10-15 minutes, flip it and it will slowly start to come out of the pan!

What is the best pan to cook a pound cake in?

Any non stick pan, that isn’t too dark would be good to bake Pound Cakes. Just remember not to fill them more than 2/3 or 3/4 with cake batter. As your cake can overflow out of the pan while baking.
