Follow these easy steps to create a delicious Pecan Pound Cake at home:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or tube pan.
2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine buttermilk and vanilla extract.
6. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk mixture. Start and finish with the flour mixture.
7. Fold in Pecans: Gently fold in the toasted pecans until evenly distributed.
8. Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and spread it evenly.
9. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
10. Cool: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 20-30 minutes. Then carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
