Description

🍰 Indulge in a rich and moist brown sugar pound cake perfect for any dessert occasion.
🧁 This cake delivers deep caramel notes and a tender crumb that will delight your taste buds.


Ingredients

– 2 cups brown sugar Provides natural sweetness and moistness

– 3 cups all-purpose flour Gives structure and balance

– 1 cup unsalted butter Adds richness and tenderness

– 4 large eggs Bind ingredients and contribute to texture

– 1/2 cup heavy cream Enhances moistness and flavor

– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Adds aromatic depth


Instructions

1-First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan; get all your ingredients measured and ready to go for a seamless start.

2-Second, cream the unsalted butter and brown sugar together until they’re light and fluffy this step is key for developing that amazing caramel flavor that makes this pound cake shine.

3-Third, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each; if you’re adapting for vegan, that’s where you’d incorporate those flax eggs for the same binding effect.

4-Fourth, gradually add the flour alternating with the heavy cream, starting and ending with flour; mix gently to keep the batter from getting tough overworking is a common slip-up!

5-Fifth, stir in the vanilla extract to bring in that aromatic boost that ties everything together.

6-Sixth, pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top for an even bake.

7-Seventh, pop it in the oven and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean; keep an eye on it if you’re using gluten-free ingredients, as they might need a tad less time.

8-Finally, let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 15 minutes before you remove it; serving it warm lets those caramel notes really pop and makes it utterly irresistible.

Notes

🍽️ Use packed brown sugar for richer flavor and moist texture.
🧁 Make sure to cream butter and sugar properly for a light crumb.
