BEST PECAN BUTTER POUND CAKE WITH GLAZE

INGREDIENTS:

1½ cups finely chopped pecans
1 tablespoon plus 2½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs, warmed to room temperature
3 large egg yolks, warmed to room temperature

GLAZE

2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
2/3 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons chopped toasted pecans

DIRECTIONS:

In a small mixing bowl, combine the chopped pecans with 1 tablespoon flour. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of the pecans in the bottom of the prepared pan. Set rest of pecans aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine 2½ cups flour, baking powder, and salt; sift or whisk together to mix. Set aside.

In a large bowl of an electric mixer, melt cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Tip: To cream, start by placing the butter in the bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed begin by beating the butter about 1 minute until it is smooth and light in color. With the mixer still on medium speed, slowly add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the butter, either one tablespoon at a time, or in a very slow steady stream, taking from 4 to 8 minutes to add all of the sugar, and beating until the butter and sugar are fully incorporated and the mixture is a light, or pale yellow color, with a fluffy texture. While adding the sugar, stop the mixer occasionally to scrape the mixture off the paddle and scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula so the mixture blends evenly.
Add eggs and egg yolks one at a time, beating until thoroughly mixed. Tip: For each egg, crack the egg into a small bowl and whisk with a fork to thoroughly break up the egg before adding to the creamed mixture. Start with the mixer on low speed so the liquid from the egg doesn’t splatter, once the egg is partially mixed increase the speed to medium. Each egg should be fully incorporated into the mixture before adding the next egg, taking about one minute to blend in each egg.
With the mixer on low speed, add vanilla and about one third of the flour mixture, mix just until the flour is almost completely blended.Scrape the bowl down and continue the flour mixture …
