Scrumptious brown sugar pound cake…
Pound cakes are one of the easiest cakes to make, if we replace white sugar with brown sugar pound cake will have a delicious caramel taste. I’m a caramel flavor freak & I was excited when I found this recipe.
Easy recipe & the cake is rich, and buttery with caramel taste. The frosting made this cake even more delish.
Even without the frosting this cake will taste good, so if you don’t want the frosting feel free to skip it.
