Butter Pecan Pound Cake

This Butter Pecan Pound Cake Recipe is deliciously moist and full of flavor. A Butter Pecan Lovers Dream!!!

Hey There! It’s beginning to smell a lot like Christmas!!! Where? In my home!!! I’ve really been on a pecan kick lately. I’ve been buying them by the pounds it seems.

We got to enjoy these yummy and decadent Pecan Pie Cheesecake Bars during the Thanksgiving season and now I just have to share this family favorite, Butter Pecan Pound Cake Recipe for Christmas.

I haven’t shared a pound cake here since 2015, so you know this one must be a real treat! Hubby just had a birthday and I wanted to make him this cake again to celebrate since he enjoyed it so much a couple years back. So get ready for a real treat!!!

HOW TO MAKE BUTTER PECAN POUND CAKE

I love how moist and tender it is and it cuts like velvet. The pecans are finely ground so that you’re not biting into a huge pecan bite. It also makes cutting into it so much easier.

It gets some of that butter pecan flavor from the Butter Pecan Creamer used instead of milk. Dee-Licious!!!

And the cream cheese frosting sets everything all just right and makes for the absolutely most perfect bite.

I hope you give this yummy Butter Pecan Pound Cake Recipe a shot this Christmas season. It has certainly been a hit with my friends and family. Remember as you gather together with your family and friends next week that Jesus Is The Reason for The Season!!!

It was all in God’s plan to send His Son Jesus to save mankind from sin and death. So Happy Birthday Jesus!! I thank You for dying for me. Have a Merry Christmas guys!!! Say Grace and enjoy!!
