Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter
• 2 cups flour
• 1½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ cup pecans
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ½ cup sugar
• 4 eggs
• ½ tsp vanilla
• ½ cup milk

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Prepare the Heritage Loaf Pan with baking spray or butter and flour.

Heat butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat until the milk solids are browned. Transfer it into a shallow bowl and freeze until cooled, about 10-15 minutes.

Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and pecans. Set aside.

Cream together the brown butter and sugars until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, combining thoroughly after each addition. Mix in vanilla.

On low speed, pour in the flour mixture and milk until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Tap gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.

Bake for about an hour or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the cake. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a cooling rack.
