Instructions
- Pound Cake Instructions:Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
- Using a hand or stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (approximately 5 minutes)
- Add the vanilla extract and pumpkin spice.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until combined after each addition before adding the next egg.
- Add the flour to the batter, alternating with sour cream and pumpkin puree, beginning and ending with the flour. Pour the batter evenly into a 12-cup greased bundt pan.
- Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes or until the cake is golden brown. (Insert a wooden toothpick into the center of the cake. The cake is done when the toothpick comes out clean/with moist crumbs).
- Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan to complete the cooling process.
- Brown Butter Caramel Glaze:
- In a large pot or pan, over medium heat, melt your stick of butter. In a medium light-colored saucepan over medium heat, melt the salted butter, stirring or swirling occasionally, until it foams, turns brown, and smells nutty (approximately 5 minutes).
- Add the brown sugar and mix until combined and no longer grainy.
- Add the condensed milk and mix. Stir occasionally until your desired consistency is reached. It should be somewhat thick, but not as thick as caramel.
- Stir in the pumpkin spice. Slowly add in the vanilla and remove from the heat.
- Allow to cool for approximately 10 minutes before pouring over your cooled cake as desired. Once the glaze has set, serve and enjoy!
