Ingredients

For the Cake:

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup German chocolate, chopped
• 1 cup pecans, toasted and chopped

For the German Chocolate Pecan Glaze:

• 1 cup German chocolate, chopped
• ½ cup heavy cream
• ½ cup pecans, toasted and chopped

Instructions

Make the Cake:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Combine Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the sour cream. Mix until just combined.
6. Fold in Chocolate and Pecans: Gently fold in the chopped German chocolate and toasted pecans.
7. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Prepare the Glaze:

1. Heat the Cream: In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the heavy cream to a slight simmer.
2. Melt the Chocolate: Remove from heat, add the chopped German chocolate, and let sit for a few minutes. Stir until smooth.
3. Glaze the Cake: Drizzle the warm glaze over the cooled pound cake and sprinkle with toasted pecans.
