How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan**.
  • Cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs, one at a time.
  • Combine dry ingredients and add alternately with milk.
  • Begin and end with flour mixture.
  • Add vanilla.
  • Fill prepared pan.
  • Bake for 1 hour and 35-40 minutes or when toothpick comes out clean. C
  • ool cake completely, then remove from pan.
  • Drizzle*** Brown Sugar Pound Cake with slightly cooled Caramel Rum Sauce.
  • The Rose pan only holds 10-cups.
  • I put about 3 cups of batter in a prepared loaf pan. Also my baking time was considerably less that what this recipes dictates.
  • ***Not only did I drizzle the Caramel Rum Sauce over my rose-shaped cake, but I brushed it over the sides for even coverage.
  • Since my cake was in two pans, I put 1-cup of sauce in a resealable container in the refrigerator to use later on the loaf cake.
  • To serve this Brown Sugar Pound Cake,
  • I scooped out some sauce on a slice of the cake. I then microwaved the piece for about 15 seconds.
  • Wonderful!
  • Sauce:
  • Combine all ingredients in heavy saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking occasionally.
  • Cover and continue to boil for 1 minute to wash sugars from side of pan.
  • Uncover and boil for 3 to 4 more minutes without stirring.
  • Cool slightly before drizzling* over cake or ice cream.
