The Best Glazed Pecan Cake

What Pan Do I Use for Pecan Cake?

Pecan Cake is baked in a bundt cake pan. Sometimes these pans are called tube pans. This creates a high rising cake that doesn’t require slicing the cake layers in half to add frosting between. The glaze adds that extra sweetness that isn’t overpowering the cake like a buttercream icing.

Variations to Glazed Pecan Cake

There are ways to change this Pecan Cake to make it even better.

Toast the Pecans – Toasting the pecans brings an even nuttier taste to the pecans. It creates a deeper flavor and only takes a few extra minutes to do.

Brown Sugar – While I like to make pecan cake with white sugar, you can swap it for brown sugar, or so a half and half measurement. Brown sugar has a deeper, richer taste than white sugar because of the molasses in the sugar.
