INGREDIENTS
All Ingredients At Room Temperature:
3 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 sticks softened butter
3 cups cake flour
8-10 ounces heavy whipping cream
6 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
For Praline:
2 cups of firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter
1/3 cup evaporated milk
1/3 cup of sifted confectioners sugar
2 cups of chopped pecans, toasted
2 tablespoon of vanilla extract


DIRECTIONS
1: Cream butter and sugar in a mixer. Add 1 egg at a time. Add flour and cream, alternating between the two. Add baking powder. Add salt. Add vanilla. Pour in greased and floured bundt pan.
 
2: Put in cold oven, middle rack. Turn oven to 350 and bake for 1 hour and remove. Do NOT let it cool completely in the pan! I made that mistake once! Wouldn't come out.
 
3: For Praline: In a heavy saucepan, stir the brown sugar, butter, and half and half over moderate heat for 5 minutes or until the mixture comes to a full boil.
 
4: Boil for 3 minutes, then remove from the heat and stir in the confectioners sugar, pecans, and vanilla. Immediately drizzle over pound cake.
