BUTTER PECAN POUND CAKE INSTRUCTIONS:

1 ) In a small mixing bowl, combine the chopped pecans with 1 tablespoon flour. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of the pecans in the bottom of the prepared pan. Set rest of pecans aside.

2 ) In a medium mixing bowl, combine 2½ cups flour, baking powder, and salt; sift or whisk together to mix. Set aside.

3 ) In a large bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Tip: To cream, start by placing the butter in the bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed begin by beating the butter about 1 minute until it is smooth and light in color.

4 ) With the mixer still on medium speed, slowly add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the butter, either one tablespoon at a time, or in a very slow steady stream, taking from 4 to 8 minutes to add all of the sugar, and beating until the butter and sugar are fully incorporated and the mixture is a light, or pale yellow color, with a fluffy texture.

5 ) While adding the sugar, stop the mixer occasionally to scrape the mixture off the paddle and scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula so the mixture blends evenly.

6 ) Add eggs and egg yolks one at a time, beating until thoroughly mixed. Tip: For each egg, crack the egg into a small bowl and whisk with a fork to thoroughly break up the egg before adding to the creamed mixture.

7 ) Start with the mixer on low speed so the liquid from the egg doesn’t splatter, once the egg is partially mixed increase the speed to medium.

8 ) Each egg should be fully incorporated into the mixture before adding the next egg, taking about one minute to blend in each egg.
