Pecan-Butterscotch-Calvados Pound Cake



I've made this pound cake based one one from 'Bundt Cake Classics' a bunch of times and I'm pleased with the way it turns out and also with its longevity.   Mr. Poe liked this a lot.  The calvados gives it an interesting apple flavor without actually having apple in it.

3 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder

2 cups sugar
1 cup butter
6 eggs
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt

3/4 cups Calvados
3/4 cups pecans
5 1/2 oz butterscotch chips (half of a bag)

Whisk flour and baking powder and set aside
Carefully cream the sugar and butter together
Add eggs(one at a time), nutmeg, salt and Calvados
Put into bundt pan sprayed with Pam with flour added
Bake 60-70 minutes or much longer until toothpick comes out clean
Let cool for 10 minutes and then unmold on to serving plate
Dust with powdered sugar and serve.
