Brown Sugar Carmel Pound Cake
Brown sugar pound cake may be the best cake you’ve ever tasted! Dense, moist, and molasses-and-caramel-flavored – perfect to bake in chilly weather.
This brown sugar caramel pound cake is one of those things. Mercy. Excuse the crappy picture by the way. Would you look at me differently if I told you that every time I got a slice I had to sing “I want some of your brown shuuuuga!” ? I really did and now that you’ve just read that I can bet a dollar you’ll probably do the same thing. We’re in this together now.
