Introduction
Vanilla pecan Bundt cake is a soft, rich, and elegant dessert with a beautiful golden color. It has a moist texture, a sweet vanilla flavor, crunchy pecans, and a creamy glaze on top. This cake is perfect for tea time, birthdays, family gatherings, or special occasions.
Ingredients
For the cake:
- 3 cups flour
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
For the glaze:
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup chopped pecans for decoration
Preparation
First, preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease and flour a Bundt cake pan well so the cake does not stick.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until the mixture becomes light and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each egg. Add the vanilla extract.

In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture little by little, alternating with the milk. Mix gently until the batter becomes smooth.
Fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it onto a cake stand and allow it to cool completely.
To make the glaze, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour the glaze over the cooled cake and let it drip down the sides. Sprinkle chopped pecans on top.
Presentation
Serve the cake in thick slices with tea, coffee, milk, or fresh juice. It can also be served with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
