Butter Pecan Cake

Ingredients

1 cup butter (softened)
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
6 eggs
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups chopped pecans

Glaze
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
2 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F.  Cream butter and sugars together. Add eggs, vanilla and baking powder and blend together. Add the flour and mix again. Fold in the chopped pecans. Pour cake mixture into a greased bundt pan and bake for 50-60 minutes.

Melt butter and sugar in a pan on top of the stove for the glaze. Remove from heat and add water and vanilla. Keep warm

When the cake has come out of the oven poke holes in the cake and pour some of the glaze onto the cake. Keep cake in the pan and let the glaze soak into the holes. Then remove cake from the pan, poke some more holes in the cake and then pour the rest of the glaze over the cake.

Side Note: Usually I am not a big fan of glaze but I used it for this cake and loved it. Don't think the cake would be as good without it.
