Brown Sugar Pound Cake with Caramel Glaze

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups butter room temperature
  • 2 cups brown sugar packed, of course :)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 5 eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour preferably sifted
  • 1 cup sour cream room temperature
  • 1 TBSP 1 tablespoon vanilla

Glaze

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed, of course :)
  • 2-3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • a pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup half and half or milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees and prepare your bundt pan with butter and flour.

  2. In your stand mixer bowl, cream together butter, sugars and salt on high speed until light and fluffy, for about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Next add in your eggs, one at a time, and mix until incorporated.

  4. Then add in flour and mix slowly until incorporated. Add in sour cream and vanilla and mix slowly until just combined.

  5. Pour batter into bundt pan and bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool cake for about 10 minutes and then remove and cool on a cooling rack and cool until room temperature.
  7. For the Glaze, melt butter in a sauce pan and all the rest of your ingredients. Whisk until smooth and you have your desired consistency. Pound immediately over cooled cake. It hardens pretty quickly!

Recipe Notes

For the best results, ensure that your ingredients are all room temperature.
