Ingredients
Scale
For the Cake:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups light brown sugar, packed
1 cup granulated sugar
5 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup whole milk
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
For the Caramel Glaze:
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with milk. Mix until smooth.
Stir in vanilla extract and chopped pecans if using.
Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 75-85 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the Caramel Glaze:
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and add brown sugar. Stir constantly until smooth.
Add heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2 minutes, then remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
Drizzle warm caramel glaze over the cooled pound cake.
Notes
Use dark brown sugar for a deeper caramel flavor.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
For extra richness, serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
