Chocolate Butter Pecan Pound Cake

Teresa Ambra

Chocolate Butter Pecan Pound Cake is one scrumptious cake. It starts with a Butter Pecan cake mix, then you add pecans and canned chocolate frosting to the cake batter, and after that you glaze it with chocolate frosting. It was fantastic! This wonderful dessert is great for any kind of potluck, special occasion dinner or for those who just love chocolate!

I got the recipe almost 10 years ago when I worked for the Woman’s Missionary Union office at the Baptist General Convention of Texas. I used to bring in sweet desserts from time to time so everyone knew I loved to bake. We used to pass around recipes among all the staff on a regular basis and I collected several while I was there.

This one was given to me by Waunice Newton, a co-worker, but the original source was from a gal who had been the President of Texas Baptist Women for several terms. I added the chocolate icing which turned out to be a great addition.

Most of you who follow this blog know I’m a recipe queen. I love collecting recipes. This is another one of those recipes that I’ve had stashed away to make on a rainy day. I made it for some friends who recently went through a bereavement. When I brought the meal to the family they invited me to eat with them. I thought the cake was delicious when I nibbled on it as I was packing it up for delivery. They raved and raved over the cake when we ate dinner together and were really glad I had added the chocolate icing!

If you’re looking for a sensational cake to serve your guests or family, this easy Chocolate Butter Pecan Cake certainly fits the bill. Bundt cakes are usually quick and easy to prepare, but they take an hour to and hour and a half to bake. You also have to make sure you insert a knife all the way to the bottom to check for doneness. The knife must come out clean in order for it to be done. Otherwise, you may have a disaster on your hands! For those of you who want a new dessert to try, enjoy this marvelous cake recipe.

Equipment

  • 1 15-inch Bundt pan or one 10-inch Bundt pan and one smaller pan
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 bamboo skewer or knife to check cake for doneness

Ingredients
  

CAKE:

  • 18.25 oz. box Betty Crocker butter pecan cake mix
  • 1 cup canola oil
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 4 large eggs beaten
  • 16 oz. can German Chocolate or Chocolate frosting (Yes, the frosting goes in the batter!)
  • 1 cup pecans chopped (measure after chopping)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

CHOCOLATE ICING:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp. unsalted butter softened
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2-3 tbsp. water
  • 2 heaping tablespoonfuls cocoa powder

Instructions
 

CAKE:

  • Mix all ingredients except sugar and stir well.
  • Pour into a well-greased and floured 15-inch Bundt pan.
  • Sprinkle with sugar. (I used between 3-4 tablespoonfuls).
  • Bake at 350° for about 60 minutes or until a knife or bamboo skewer inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Cool cake completely.
  • Frost with Chocolate Icing.

CHOCOLATE ICING:

  • Whisk softened butter, cocoa, powdered sugar and vanilla in a mixing bowl until combined.
  • Add only as much water as needed to get ingredients to spreading consistency.
  • Drizzle Chocolate Icing over cooled cake.
  • Allow icing to set about 15-30 minutes before covering with plastic wrap.

Notes

NOTE: This recipe makes a lot of batter. You need a 15-inch bundt pan, or put it in a large bundt pan and a small bundt pan. Otherwise, the recipe may overflow. I recommend filling it so that it has at least a one-and-a-half inch border at the top so the batter can expand while baking.
 
NOTE: You may want to put a cookie sheet under the pan to catch drips while baking.

    Hi, cake mixes do not come in that size anymore. Should I use the 15.25 oz and add an additional 3 oz cake flour? Or just the cake mix alone?

    1. Teresa

      October 27, 2022 at 8:17 am

      Yes, the companies that make these products do that frequently. I would just use a regular 15.25 ounce cake mix.

      1. Yoly

        October 27, 2022 at 9:50 am

        Thank you for the quick reply.
        The cake is delicious. I used a fudge frosting and am wondering if that is why the cake sunk in the center? Didn’t matter because it was not visible after flipping it. However it was impossible to cut small slices because the cake crumbled. Family was happy since they got to eat big slices!
        Must compliment you on the frosting, yum! Three tbs of water were perfect for it to drip down the sides of the cake without pooling at the bottom.

        1. Teresa

          October 29, 2022 at 6:53 am

          So glad you enjoyed it. If the cake sunk in the center, that usually means the cake didn’t cook quite long enough. But this can also happen if a door is slammed (including the oven door) during baking time. It will cause cakes to sink. 🙁

    You also have to make sure you insert a knife all the way to the bottom to check for doneness. The knife must come out clean in order for it to be done

      Hi Charlie. Yes, bundt cakes are hard to judge. Take it from someone who’s blown it a few times. If the knife doesn’t come out clean, the cake will come out of the pan in clumps and be a big mess! 🙂

    I believe the cake tasted great. I entered it in local competition and received great comments. The only issue is that the cake overflowed in my oven. I suggest updating the recipe to include a large 15-cup Bundt pan. For novice bakers, they might not know the standard Bundt pan is around 12 cups and could lead to a mess. I left about an inch for the cake to expand, and it still overflowed. The one comment that I received as a critique, besides the fact that it overflowed in pan and had crispy edges, was the cake was too moist. I am thinking the frosting and amount of oil could result in this. I will make the cake again and reduce the oil as it is a tasty cake.

    What a mess 🤦🏽‍♀️ The cake overflowed and the cake sunk when removed from oven and the knife came out clean after touching the bottom of pan like recipe said. I followed the recipe completely. After looking at your picture again the only thing different was I used pillsbury chocolate fudge frosting and you used Duncan Hines. I may NEVER trust another Pinterest recipe again. 😢 Perhaps it should call for a tube pan and not standard size bundt pan. 😢😢

      Hi, Linda. Sorry your cake didn’t turn out. A couple of thoughts…use the largest bundt cake pan available, but if your pan is not the biggest size, then fill so that the cake batter comes at least a one inch from the top of the pan. That allows for the cake to expand while baking. If the cake sunk, it was not baked long enough. I wouldn’t throw in the towel just yet. Try making it again. Bake it longer and if necessary, don’t fill it so full. Bake the excess in a small baking dish instead. This cake is toooo good not to enjoy.

      1. Linda

        August 30, 2019 at 9:41 pm

        Since your recipe said a bundt pan I assumed a standard size. I’ve been a baker and even sell my cakes for many of years and I know when a cake is done. There is a difference between a moist cake and a cake that is almost greasy from too much oil. The cake has little favor. Overall disappointment and won’t be baking another. I guess everyone has different likes and dislikes and wish you happy baking. 🙂 Thank you for your reply.

          Hi, Linda. So sorry your experience wasn’t a good one. But if you look at the reviews and how many other people who have made the cake really enjoyed it, I think it is definitely a cake worth making. Enjoy the holiday weekend.

    yeah the cake was like soup for me made a mess and would not cook without burning followed recipe exact looked and smelled good till it made a mess and burned in the oven,what a joke.good luck with anyone that really tries it,it was really watery too much liquid,used exact ingred….

    1. Teresa

      January 30, 2019 at 12:15 pm

      You definitely undercooked the recipe if the cake was like soup. Bundt cakes must be cooked almost an hour and a half to cook completely through. I recommend putting a cookie sheet underneath the bundt pan to pick up any spills if the cake drips over. Although I don’t remember this cake having that kind of volume to cause that to happen. Unless a knife inserted in the center of the bundt cakes come out clean without goop, the cake is NOT done. Each oven is different. Cook the cake as long as needed until the knife comes out clean. Otherwise, the cake will come out in clumps and you certainly will have a mess on your hands.

    February 3, 2018 at 5:51 pm

    Made this cake earlier this week-delicious. Hiwever, as others have mentioned the pound cake texture & it was very crumbly. I really don’t believe that it was under baked as u had suggested before because if it were under vaked, it would b gooey rather than crumbly . I don’t think is like 2 bake it longer because an over baked cake results in a dry cake. I’m wondering if maybe it needs more eggs & less oil? Anyway, besides the crumbling-it was delicious. Can this cake be made with other cake mix flavors ex:lemon, marble etc.?

    when I cut it, it didn’t v

    1. Teresa

      February 5, 2018 at 7:45 am

      Hi, Norma. Sorry you felt the cake was dry. It usually never turns out dry when I use half-and-half instead of water in the cake mix. The deal with this cake is that a knife has to go down all the way to the bottom of the cake pan and come out clean before it is cooked completely. If your oven cooks faster than mine, then your cake will be ready earlier than the suggested time. Additional oil will help the cake become moister. Yes this can be made with other cake mixes to have different flavors. They usually all turn out delicious.

  • Jane Kimberling

    September 11, 2017 at 8:19 pm

    Question? The recipe calls for an 18.5 o cake mix, but we can only find a 15.5 mix. Do any adjustments need to be made? Thanks!

    1. Teresa

      September 12, 2017 at 2:59 pm

      Hi, Jane. I would go with the 15.5 ounces and not worry about it. I think the cake mix companies have decreased amounts but still charge the same amounts!

      1. Kathy Dedini

        April 3, 2018 at 8:50 am

        This is a great cake as it and as the basis for many other flavors. Lemon with lemon is our favorite so far. Lemon frosting in the cake and frosted with lemon frosting. Best cake ever. I made it for Easter and all loved it.

        June 14, 2017 at 2:06 pm

        Hi, Sandy. Thanks for your question. I realized the icing directions were not very clear, so I clarified them in the recipe. Mix powdered sugar, cocoa, vanilla and softened butter with a whisk. Then add water a little at a time just until you get a good spreading consistency. Thanks for letting me know. Hope you enjoy the cake.

      Yes, you can freeze it. Double wrap in plastic wrap and then wrap again tightly with foil. It should freeze a month or two without any problem. Anything longer and you may find the cake starts drying out.

      Hi, Anna. The oil makes the cake very moist. If you use less, I would substitute an additional 1/2 cup of whipping cream or half-and-half for the liquid. Not sure how it would turn out, but it’s worth a try. Hope you enjoy it.

    November 27, 2015 at 11:03 am

    Question – I made the Chocolate Butter Pecan Pound Cake recipe. It was delicious, everyone just raved over it. But I had a couple of logistical issues with the cake itself. I followed the recipe, I oiled and floured my bundt pan as much as possible, I even took the cake out of the oven about 4 minutes shy of 60 minutes because it was done. I let it col about 20 minutes in the pan, then turned it out onto my wire rack. Part of the cake stuck. I ended up piecing it together as I figured with the icing, no one would see it, and they didn’t. But when cutting, the whole cake just seemed to crumble, I couldn’t cut an actual slice to save my life, which surprised me, especially since this is a “pound cake” recipe? which are usually pretty dense. Suggestions? Comments? Again, the cake was easy to make, and just tasted amazing, I just don’t know why it stuck to the pan, and why it didn’t hold together.

    1. Teresa

      November 27, 2015 at 11:16 am

      Susan, I think you needed to cook it longer. Bundt cakes are very tricky. A long knife has to be inserted all the way to the bottom of the pan and if there’s any goo on it when you bring the knife out, the cake is not done — even if the tops and bottoms are done it won’t be baked in the middle of the cake, which will cause it to come out clumpy. Regarding the pan, I’ve found that if my bundt pan gets too old or if you wash it in the dishwasher instead of hand-washing it, the surface just gets bad over the years. I’ve had to replace my bundt pans because they get a lot of use and once cakes start sticking (even when I grease and flour them very generously) then it’s time for a new pan. Assuming you have a new pan, slather on as much grease or coconut oil as you possibly can, then sprinkle heavily with flour. I shake flour over the tube and make sure it is well covered (every speck), then I keep rotating the pan until flour covers the whole surface. I may use 1/3 to 1/2 cup flour or more by the time this is all done. Also if the cake seems browned on top but you put the knife in and it’s still gooey, you may have to tent your cake with foil so it doesn’t burn or get too brown on the top and the cake still not be cooked all the way through. I hope you give this cake another try, because it’s really sensational.

    I am making a version of the cake today for my potters guild meeting tonight. Couldn’t find butter Pecan cake mix at my local store so I bought a moist yellow cake mix and butter brickle chips. I plan to add 1c butter brickle chips and 1/2 cup fine chopped pecans to recipe. We will have to see how it turns out. Also using fat free 1/2 and 1/2 because that’s what I have, I didn’t notice it used whipping cream until this morning. Will let you know how it turns out.

      April 21, 2015 at 3:08 pm

      Thanks, JC. I’m sure with those ingredients it will turn out fine. Just about every chain in the Dallas metroplex area carries Butter Pecan Cake Mix so we have no problem getting it here. If you want to try the original flavor you can order these cake mixes at Walmart’s online service and they will ship it to your closest store so you can pick it up there. You can also order it on Amazon.

      I have never used a tube pan, Dee, but I’m sure it will work fine. It may cook quicker because of the aluminum coating so I would start checking at about an hour. If your oven runs hot it may cook even quicker. I hope you enjoy it. This really is a wonderful cake.

    I’ve had the pleasure of consuming this super moist cake, thanks to Teresa’s bringing me a meal after my daddy died. I could have sworn there was coffee in it, Teresa!! Wonderful!

    I have this cake cooling and it looks and smells wonderful. Can you please tell me how much cocoa goes in the glaze? I don’t see an amount listed. Thanks!

      Oh, so sorry, Lori. I think I used 2 heaping tablespoonfuls of cocoa powder. I’ve updated the recipe. Please let me know how you like it!

        It was wonderful and thank you so much for your super fast reply! Have been asked for the recipe several times so I have to make copies of this.

          I’m glad it was a hit with everyone, Lori. Please pass the recipe on and share my blog or Pinterest account with them if they follow that kind of thing. And sorry for leaving off the cocoa! I was making about 8 different recipes that day and I do my best to try to get them into my computer as I make them, but I was on a time crunch trying to make a meal for someone and must have forgotten. Thank you for letting me know you enjoyed it.

            Hi there, d… Not sure exactly what happened. No one who has ever made this cake and followed the instructions has ever had a problem. While the cake may have burned on the outside edges, it appears that it didn’t cook all the way through or it wouldn’t have been soupy. But let me recommend a couple of things. You do have to use the correct size bundt pan. If you use a smaller one it will overflow. If it’s still soupy the cake is not cooked all the way through. A bundt cake sometimes has to be cooked up to an hour and a half, depending on the oven. (I have even had some take as long as two hours). You have to insert a knife or a really long toothpick all the way to the bottom. Until the toothpick comes out dry the cake will not be baked through and it will be soupy and usually fall out in clumps….yes, a real mess. If you notice that your cake appears to be burning on the top because it is taking longer to cook, consider tenting the top with foil. Another thing you can check is to have your oven calibrated. It may have hot spots and is cooking unevenly. Finally, after the cake is tested and it’s baked completely, if you feel that top edge seems a little brown, you can always shave it off with a sharp knife. I’ve never had to do that on a cake, because if I saw that a cake was getting a little too brown, I tent with foil, but you can cut off the edges if they appear too brown, burned or displeasing. I’m sorry you had a bad experience because this is one terrific cake.
