Tips for a Perfect Pecan Rum Cake

- **Use high-quality ingredients.** This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cake. Use pure vanilla extract, unsalted butter, and fresh, high-quality pecans. - **Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.** This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake. - **Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.** This will help to prevent the batter from curdling. - **Mix the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl before adding them to the wet ingredients.** This will help to ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the batter. - **Stir in the pecans and rum.** Be sure to use a good-quality rum, as this will also contribute to the flavor of the cake. - **Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.** - **Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.** This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
