Pound Cake with Pecans

A moist cake flavored with butter, vanilla and pecans. Pound Cake has been apart of my family since before I was born and it was and remains to be one of the most common desserts served in our home and especially during holidays. It's a simple recipe, but I find it too be very consistant with other African American pound cake recipes.
