Brown Sugar Caramel Pound Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups softened butter
- 2 cups packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 5 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 (8 oz) bag toffee chips (such as Heath)
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Caramel Drizzle:
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
For the Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Prepare a 12-cup Bundt pan by spraying it with cooking spray or greasing and dusting with flour.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add the brown and granulated sugars, beating until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the batter, alternating with the milk, and beat until just combined.
- Stir in the toffee chips and chopped pecans.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and bake for approximately 85 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean. To prevent excessive browning, cover the cake loosely with foil while baking.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, drizzle the caramel over the cake.
For the Caramel Drizzle:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk and brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking frequently.
- Reduce the heat and simmer for about 8 minutes, continuing to whisk frequently.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the butter and vanilla extract.
- Allow the caramel to cool for about 5 minutes before drizzling over the cake. Make sure to drizzle the caramel while it’s still hot for the best results.
