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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

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

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake is golden brown.

Step 8

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

Slice and enjoy your Frosted Brown Sugar Pound Cake!
