How to Make Brown Sugar Pound Cake With Brown Sugar Glaze

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1/2 cup shortening using an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  6. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or other desired flavoring).
  7. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  8. Bake for 75-80 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. While the cake cools, prepare the glaze:
  11. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/4 cup unsalted butter.
  12. Whisk in 1 cup packed light brown sugar and cook for 1 minute.
  13. Stir in 1/4 cup milk, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  14. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Remove from heat.
  15. Once the cake is completely cool, pour the warm glaze over the top, allowing it to drizzle down the sides.
  16. Let the cake stand for at least 30 minutes, or until the glaze is set, before serving.
