Time 1h35m

Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, softened
1/2 cup shortening
3 cups sugar
5 eggs
3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (1 ounce) unsweetened chocolate square
1 tablespoon shortening
1/2 cup pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F
  • Grease and flour a 10 inch tube pan.
  • Beat butter and 1/2 cup shortening together until creamy.
  • Gradually add sugar; beat at medium speed for 5-7 minutes.
  • Add eggs one at a time, and beat just until the yellow disappears. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; add to butter mixture alternating with milk; mixing at low speed just until blended after each addition.
  • Stir in vanilla.
  • Combine chocolate and 1 tablespoon shortening in a small saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until butter melts.
  • Remove 2 cups batter and add chocolate mixture, stirring until blended. Pour 1/3 of remaining plain batter into the tube pan; top with 1/2 of the chocolate batter.
  • Repeat layers, ending with a plain batter layer.
  • Gently swirl with a knife to marble the batter, and sprinkle with pecans.
  • Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before removing and allowing to cool completely on a wire rack.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out as moist as I expected. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This cake is a bit dense for my taste, but the flavor is still good.

This marbled pecan pound cake was a hit at my last dinner party. The flavor was rich and buttery, with a perfect balance of sweetness and nuttiness. The marbled effect was also very visually appealing.
