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

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Boil for 3 minutes, then remove from the heat and stir in the confectioners sugar, pecans, and vanilla. Immediately drizzle over pound cake.
