Ingredients

Units Scale

For the cake:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted

For the caramel glaze:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: to 350°F and grease a 10-cup Bundt pan thoroughly.
  2. Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  3. Prepare dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the sour cream. Stir until just combined. Fold in the toasted pecans.
  4. Bake: Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. Make the caramel glaze: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and cream, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 2–3 minutes until thickened slightly. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and a pinch of salt, then cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.

Notes

  • For extra crunch and presentation, sprinkle a few chopped pecans over the glaze.
  • This cake stores well covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
