Vanilla Nut Pound Cake with Glaze

That looks like a moist, nut-filled vanilla cake with a white glaze—very similar to a classic pound cake or butter cake with nuts and icing. Here’s a full homemade recipe to recreate something very close:


🍰 Vanilla Nut Pound Cake with Glaze

🧾 Ingredients

Cake:

  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ¾ cups (350g) sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)

Glaze:

  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp milk or cream
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prep

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
  • Grease and flour a loaf or bundt pan

2. Cream butter & sugar

  • Beat butter + sugar until light and fluffy (about 3–5 minutes)

3. Add eggs

  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each

4. Mix dry ingredients

  • In a separate bowl: flour, baking powder, salt

5. Combine

  • Add dry ingredients alternately with milk
  • Stir in vanilla extract

6. Add nuts

  • Fold in chopped nuts

7. Bake

  • Pour into pan and bake 50–65 minutes
  • Toothpick should come out clean

8. Cool

  • Let cool in pan 10–15 minutes, then remove

🍶 Glaze

  • Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth
  • Drizzle over slightly warm or fully cooled cake

💡 Tips

  • Toast the nuts lightly for better flavor
  • For extra richness, add a simple syrup drizzle before glazing
  • If you want that slightly caramel-looking streak, drizzle a bit of brown sugar syrup or caramel before glazing

If you want, I can tweak this to match exactly what you have (for example: softer crumb, more dense, or bakery-style texture).
