Ingredients:

- 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200g) packed brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (120ml) caramel sauce
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar, butter, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients.
- Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the batter. Swirl the caramel into the batter using a knife or skewer. Repeat with the remaining batter and caramel sauce.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice and serve the Brown Sugar Caramel Pound Cake. Optionally, drizzle additional caramel sauce
Notes:
