Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups brown sugar (light or dark)
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 5 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.25 cup brown sugar (for frosting)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a standard bundt pan or 9-inch loaf pan thoroughly with butter, then lightly dust with flour to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the whole milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake is golden brown.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
For the frosting, in a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, heavy cream, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly thickened. If the frosting is too thick, add a teaspoon of cream at a time until desired consistency is reached.
Drizzle the frosting evenly over the cooled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Let the frosting set for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Slice and enjoy your Frosted Brown Sugar Pound Cake!
