Brown Sugar Pound Cake Recipe
I love making pound cakes and one of best recipes is this vanilla almond pound cake recipe. Make this in a 10-inch pan or angel food pan to make the mile high pound cake even more delectable. It is a pretty easy recipe to make and the magic happens in the oven.
Moist Brown Sugar Pound Cake Recipe
Ingredients
3 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
1-pound box of light brown sugar (yes the whole box!)
½ cup sugar
5 eggs
1-1/2 cup milk
1 TBSP vanilla extract
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
½ tsp baking powder
Directions
Grease a 10-inch tube pan (angel food pan) and set aside.
Preheat oven to 325.
In an electric mixer with a paddle attachment cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl. About 5 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time and mix well in between.
Combine the flour, salt and baking powder and set aside.
Add the vanilla to the milk and set aside.
Alternate the flour and milk mixtures into the electric mixer until all are incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 70 -85 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool for about 20 minutes in the pan.
Then loosen the cake from the pan and turn it out onto a wire rack or plate to cool completely.
It is important to turn the cake out onto a cooling rack so that it does not stick to the pan. This recipe for brown sugar pound cake is an old fashioned recipe that I imagine my grandma would have enjoyed with her coffee. Here are a few other cake recipes I enjoy too- chocolate bundt cake and a black and white cake.
Happy Baking!

Out of curiosity, could you use loaf pans? I want to freeze one and keep one?
Yes- I would make 2 9″ loaf pans- just watch the time- you do not want to over bake and this cake freezes very well!
This sounds like a recipe I need to try! How much flour do you add? I think it got left out of the recipe.
yes it did! My apologies- 3 cups, it is updated in the recipe card as well. Thank you for pointing it out!
Sounds Good. Must try it for Thanksgiving.
It is perfect for Thanksgiving with whipped cream or ice cream!
Wonderful with brown sugar icing as a drizzle over cake.
That sounds delicious!
I will try this for the holidays. Is this o.k for a diabetic??
You should consult with a nutritionist to see if it is ok for you.
How many mini bundt cakes do you think the recipe would make?
I would think 12, perhaps 18 depending on the size of the pan.
Thank you! I’ll let you know how they turned out!
Sounds moist and delicious! I’m making one today to share with my coffee clutch buddies tomorrow morning 😋🥞🥮☕
Amazing! Can’t wait to hear how it goes!
Hi I tried your recipe and I don’t know but
mine came out dense like on the middle
Any suggestions? What went wrong? My husband still LOVED IT.
Oh my, It should not be dense in the middle, over-mixing the batter can cause that on any baking recipe?
