Pecan Praline Pound Cake
Looking for a unique holiday treat to serve after holiday meals? Or possibly to wrap and give as tasty presents this season? I thought you might be. Today’s Pecan Praline Pound Cake is a show-stopper at the dinner table and can be easily packaged and carted around (or shipped) for edible gifts. There’s nothing like a buttery pecan cake to usher in the holiday spirit!
A Fresh Fall Favorite
I used my favorite classic pound cake recipe, yet substituted brown sugar for the granulated sugar to give it a deeper richness of flavor. Then, I simmered an easy pecan praline topping that I poured over the pound cakes, giving them a crumbly, crusty nut finish. Buttery-sweet and crunchy on top. Dense and tender below. The perfect pound cake combo! You can wrap each Pecan Pound Cake in cellophane and give it away, or you can gift them in a decorative loaf pan. Or, offer them a lovely wooden cutting board like the one in today’s post from Shop Dog USA.

How to Make Pecan Praline Cake
How long does this pecan cake last?
You can keep this pound cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or wrapped with plastic wrap and aluminum foil in the fridge for up to a week. If you want to freeze this recipe, I recommend not adding the pralines on top and just wrapping the pecan cake in plastic wrap and foil. It will stay in the freezer for up to 6 months.
Can this pecan cake be made in a bundt pan?
Yes, if you use a large 12-15 cup capacity bundt pan, the whole recipe will fit. The pan should be no more than 2/3 full. Make sure to grease and flour the bundt pan well so the cake comes out easily. Baking time will be about the same, 65-80 minutes.
Can I make mini loaf cakes?
Yes, this cake recipe makes enough batter for 2 standard loaf cakes or 6 mini (5 1/2 X 3 inch) loaf cakes. The baking time should be 40-55 minutes.
Does this pecan cake travel well?
Yes, pound cakes are famous for their sturdy take-a-long texture that holds up to being lifted and carried. This is a wonderful cake to take to potlucks and holiday parties.
