Instructions

  2. Cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with buttermilk, finishing with vanilla extract.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped pecans.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.

Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, toast the pecans before adding them to the batter. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
