Categories     Dessert

Time 1h55m

Yield 1 cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups butter, softened
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3 cups sugar
6 eggs
3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup Bourbon
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups pecans, toasted and chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F
  • Grease and flour a 12 cup tube or bundt pan.
  • Beat butter and cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy.
  • Gradually add sugar, beating at medium speed until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until the yellow yolk disappears.
  • Sift together flour and salt; add to butter mixture alternately with bourbon, beginning and ending with flour mixture.
  • Beat batter at low speed just until blended after each addition.
  • Stir in vanilla and pecans.
  • Pour batter into a greased and floured 12-cup tube pan.
  • Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes to 1 hour and 35 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center of cake comes out clean.
  • Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove from pan; cool completely on wire rack.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature cream cheese. This will ensure that the cream cheese is smooth and easy to mix.
  • Cream the butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making the cake light and tender.
  • Gradually add the sugar. This will help to prevent the sugar from crystallizing, which can make the cake grainy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined. Overmixing can toughen the cake.
  • Fold in the chopped pecans. Be careful not to overmix, or the pecans will become too finely chopped.
  • Pour the batter into a prepared bundt pan. Bake in a preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before glazing. This will help to prevent the glaze from cracking.
  • To make the glaze, simply whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Pour the glaze over the cooled cake and let it set before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

This pecan crunch cream cheese pound cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and tender crumb, crunchy pecan topping, and sweet glaze, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
