Ingredients
  

  • cups   light brown sugar
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 ½  cups butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions
 

  • Start by preheating your oven to 325°F. Next, grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan, and set the flour and baking powder mixture aside.
  • Start by creaming together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy. Next, add the eggs one at a time and stir in the vanilla. Then, beat in the flour mixture and milk alternately, mixing until fully incorporated. Finally, gently fold in the chopped pecans and pour the batter into your prepared pan.
  • Place in the preheated oven and bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a clean toothpick emerges from the cake's center. Afterward, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
