1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Step 4 Bake at 300° for 1 hour and 30 to 40 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack for 20 minutes. Remove cake from pan; invert cake, pecan crust-side-up, onto a wire rack. Step 5 Brush top and sides of pound cake gently several times with hot Orange Syrup, using a 2-inchwide pastry brush and allowing the cake to absorb the Orange-Pecan-Spice Pound Cake The chopped pecans form a nice, crisp coating on top of the baked cake. Orange Syrup after each brushing. (Do not pour syrup over the cake.) Let cake cool completely on wire rack. Arrange Glazed Pecan Halves around top of cake, if desired.
