Brown Sugar Pound Cake Recipe.

Ingredients:

1-1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened
.
2-1/4 cups packed brown sugar
.
5 large eggs, room temperature.
2 TSPs vanilla extract
.
3 cups all-purpose flour.
1 TSP baking powder
.
1/4 TSP salt
.
1 cup sour cream.
GLAZE:


3 TBSPs unsalted butter.
1/4 cup chopped pecans
.
1 cup confectioners' sugar.
1/4 TSP vanilla extract
.
Dash salt
.
2 to 3 TBSPs half-and-half cream.

Recipe Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 10" fluted tube pan.
Cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add 1 egg at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream, beating after each addition just until combined.
Transfer to prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean, 55-65 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
For glaze, combine butter and pecans in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until butter is light golden brown, 4-5 minutes. Stir into confectioners' sugar. Add vanilla, salt and enough cream to reach a drizzling consistency. Drizzle glaze over cake, allowing some to drip down sides. Let stand until set.
