Pecan Buttermilk Cake
This cake has a deep rich flavor that comes from using all brown sugar in the cake recipe. It is topped with the dreamiest pecan sugar glaze that really makes your toes curl! When I found this recipe in my GreatGrandmas recipe box I was thrilled to say the least.

Its one of those cakes that you think about days after you ate it and then you long for the next time it will grace your table!
How to Make Buttermilk Cake
Start by beating the butter with brown sugar. No granulated sugar in this recipe!! Then add in your roomtemperature eggs buttermilk and vanilla. Finally add the dry ingredients. Pour into a prepared either pan release or GOOP pan and put it in the oven for 30 minutes. That cake will actually bake for 40 minutes but we add something pretty special to it 10 minutes before its done baking!

Pecan Glaze
Wow was this fun to make! Watching the butter and sugar come together and smelling the sweet caramel aroma and then chopping the pecans it was just magical!
After the cake had baked for about 20 minutes I started to make this delectable pecan glaze. Simply melt butter brown sugar buttermilk salt and chopped pecans. When the oven buzzer went off at 30 minutes I opened the oven door pulled the cake out as far as I could and poured over the pecan glaze. I went slow because I wanted it to soak into every nook cranny of this cake!
I poured every last bit over the cake and then I put the cake back in the oven to bake for another ten minutes.
While the cake finishes baking it will soak up most of the pecan glaze. I had thought I would prefer it to see in an ooey gooey puddle of deliciousness on top but I ended up really loving how every single bite of the cake was infused with the brown sugarbutter glaze.
