How to Make Caramel Pound Cake
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with both sugars until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with sour cream. Mix until just combined.
  6. Add vanilla extract and chopped pecans, folding gently into the batter.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 70-80 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Drizzle warm caramel sauce over the cooled cake and garnish with extra pecans if desired.
