- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- Caramel Rum Sauce
Preparation:
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. Cool cake completely, then remove from pan.

**As you can see, I baked my Brown Sugar Pound Cake in the Rose Bundt pan. 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!
