This is a decadent pound cake recipe with a wonderful pecan flavor thanks to the ground toasted pecans mixed in the batter. What makes this pound cake extra good is poking holes in the warm cake and pouring a rich butter glaze on top. The smell of the glaze alone is amazing. Make sure to pour the glaze slowly so it gets down into all the holes. That rich glaze soaks into the cake making this the ultimate treat. A delicious breakfast treat or it will go great after dinner with a cup of tea.
