"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Ingredients:  
Cake:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt

Directions:
Directions:
Preheat Oven to 325°. Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and white sugar until light and fluffy. Then beat in the eggs one at a time and stir in the vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the sour cream, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chopped German chocolate and toasted pecans.

Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top. Bake in preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it. Then cool cake (without pan) completely on a wire rack.

German Chocolate Pecan Glaze:
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Remove the saucepan from heat and add the chopped German chocolate. Let it sit for a few minutes, then stir until smooth and creamy. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled pound cake and sprinkle with toasted pecans.
