Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter. Add sugar, beating well. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Combine flour, salt, soda and baking powder. Add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Stir in pumpkin and flavorings.
Grease a bundt pan well and flour. Mix the brown sugar with the pecans and sprinkle into the pan. Pour batter over the sugar/nut mixture. DO NOT STIR.
Bake approximately 1 hour but start checking after 50 minutes by inserting wooden skewer. Cool in pan 10 minutes. Unmold and drizzle with glaze.
GLAZE:
2 cups 10 X sugar
2 tablespoons butter melted
3 tablespoons cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix and drizzle over cake.
Notes
Try this cake on Pumpkin haters! Good enough without the glaze! Original recipe found in the Mobile Botanical Gardens cookbook.
