Pecan Praline Buttermilk Loaf Cake: A Must-Try Delight!

A deliciously moist and flavorful loaf cake made with buttermilk and topped with a crunchy pecan praline.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Stir in the buttermilk and vanilla extract.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  7. Fold in the chopped pecans.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. While the cake is baking, prepare the praline topping by combining brown sugar and heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly.
  11. Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and pour the praline topping over the warm cake.
  12. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar in the praline topping.
  • This cake can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
