Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt pan and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with milk. Start and finish with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.

Step 6

Stir in the vanilla extract and chopped pecans.

Step 7

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

To make the glaze, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and cook until dissolved, about 2 minutes.

Step 11

Add the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Step 12

Remove the glaze from heat and let it cool slightly before drizzling over the cooled Bundt cake.

Step 13

Sprinkle chopped pecans over the glaze for garnish.

Step 14

Let the glaze set for 10-15 minutes before serving. Slice and enjoy your Butter Pecan Bundt Cake Marry Me Cake!
