The delicious pound cake will be a lovely breakfast treat or go great after dinner with a cup of tea. The ground pecans add wonderful flavor. The glaze helps keep the cake extremely moist. This is delightful! The Test Kitchen

How to Make Butter Pecan Pound Cake
- I use a stand mixer, but if you don't have one, use a large mixing bowl and hand mixer. Put butter, sugar, and eggs into mixer bowl. Mix about 10 seconds just to break eggs and begin to stir the butter and sugar, it will not look mixed. Now add the flour mixture and begin mixing on low. Slowly add the buttermilk, beat about 30 seconds. Add vanilla, mix for 3 minutes on medium speed.
