Oh pound cake, how I love thee! I was super excited to make this recipe and see how it all turned out, it was amazing! The icing was so good and the cake was super tender!
Cake
1 1/4 cups butter (room temperature)
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
5 eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup buttermilk
Glaze
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups powdered sugar
Heat the oven to 350. Grease and flour the pound cake pan then set to the side. In your stand mixer beat together the butter, brown sugar and white sugar. Beat in one egg at a time, scrapping down in between eggs. Stir in the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl whisk together the flour and baking powder. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture then alternate with the buttermilk mixture until it is all added and incorporated. Pour the batter into the cake pan and bake for 65-75 minutes. Remove cake from oven and let it sit for 15 minutes before flipping out of the pan to continue to cool. Once the pound cake has cooled make the glaze. In a pot melt the butter then stir in the brown sugar and milk. Bring to a boil and let boil for 2 minutes. Remove from stove top and allow to cool for 5-8 minutes. Whisk in the vanilla extract and the powdered sugar until smooth then pour over the pound cake.
