unsalted butter

pecans ((180 grams))

all-purpose flour ((540 grams))

baking powder

salt

baking soda

sugar ((500 grams))

eggs (room temperature)

vanilla extract

buttermilk (room temperature (300 milliliters))

unsalted butter (softened (340 grams))

(8-ounce 227 grams) blocks cream cheese (room temperature)

sugar ((840 grams))

heavy cream

pecans (finely chopped (60 grams))

In a skillet over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Add chopped pecans and cook, stirring occasionally, until toasted, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer the toasted nuts to a small bowl and let cool completely.

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease 3 (9-inch) round cake pans with baking spray and line the bottoms with parchment paper. Wrap with water-soaked fabric baking scrips, if desired.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the remaining 1¼ cups butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes.

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until combined between each addition. Stop to scrape down sides as needed. Beat in the vanilla.

With the mixer on low speed, add a third of the flour mixture followed but half of the buttermilk. Repeat, alternating between the flour mixture and buttermilk until both are fully combined. Stop to scrape down the bowl occasionally. Fold in the cooled buttered pecans until evenly distributed. Divide the batter among the prepared cake pans.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out with just a few crumbs. Let the cakes cool for 20 minutes in the pans. Invert onto cooling racks, remove the parchment paper, and let the cakes cool completely.

For the Cake:

In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, cream cheese, and salt together on medium speed until creamy and well combined, about 1 minute.

With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the powdered sugar. Stop occasionally and scrape down the bowl. Beat in the cream and vanilla. Once combined, increase the speed to medium-low and beat until smooth and fluffy, about 1 minute.

For the Buttercream:

Place one cooled cake layer on a cake stand or serving plate. Top with 1 cup frosting, spreading smoothly out to the edges. Place another cake layer on top and repeat with 1 cup of frosting. Top with the final cake layer, and spread the remaining frosting all over the top and sides of the cake. Press finely chopped pecans around the bottom of the cake, and sprinkle any remaining on top of the cake around the edge. Chill for 30 minutes to set the frosting before serving. Cake can be covered and stored at room temperature or refrigerated for up to 5 days.

Keto Butter Pecan Pound Cake Recipe

almond flour

coconut flour

unflavored whey protein powder

tbsp baking powder

butter (softened)

brown sugar replacement

water (room temperature)

buttered pecans, finely chopped

cream cheese (softened)

sweetener

heavy cream (room temperature)

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the pecans. Cook, stirring almost constantly, for 3 to 4 minutes, until lightly toasted.

Add the butter and let melt, then toss to coat the pecans. Sprinkle with salt, toss to combine, and remove from heat. Set aside to cool.

If the pecan pieces are on the larger side, chop them up a bit more after they cool. You want them to be finely chopped for this recipe.

Buttered Pecans

Preheat the oven to 325ºF and grease a large bundt pan (9-inch diameter or 8 to 10 cup capacity) very well.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, whey protein, and baking powder.

In a large bowl, beat the butter and the sweetener together until light and creamy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract, then beat in the almond flour mixture. Add the water and stir on low until smooth.

Beat in 1 1/4 cups of the buttered pecans until well distributed. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake 45 to 55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and just firm to the touch.

Remove and let cool 30 to 40 minutes in the pan before flipping out onto a wire rack to cool cool completely.

Cake

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until completely smooth, about 1 minutes. Then beat in the sweetener until well combined.

Beat in the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract until just combined, then add the remaining 1/2 cup of butter pecans and mix until well distributed.

Spread the frosting over the top and sides of the cooled cake.
