Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 2 cups light brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 5 large eggs
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup whole milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, for glaze
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar, for glaze
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, for glaze
• 0.5 cup powdered sugar, sifted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or tube pan, ensuring all crevices are coated well.

Step 2

In a large bowl using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the butter. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 6

With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined after each addition.

Step 7

Add the vanilla extract and mix until incorporated. Do not overmix.

Step 8

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles.

Step 9

Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then, carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

While the cake cools, make the glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Step 12

Remove the glaze from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the glaze to cool slightly, then whisk in the powdered sugar until smooth.

Step 13

Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top. Let the glaze set for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 14

Serve and enjoy your luscious Brown Sugar Pound Cake with Brown Sugar Glaze!
