Ingredients
Scale
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups light brown sugar, packed
1 cup granulated sugar
5 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
For the Caramel Glaze:
½ cup unsalted butter
1 cup brown sugar
¼ cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
In a large bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Stir in vanilla and pecans.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 75–85 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
For the glaze, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, add brown sugar, and whisk until dissolved. Stir in heavy cream and vanilla. Simmer for 2 minutes.
Drizzle warm caramel glaze over the cooled cake.
Notes
Use dark brown sugar for a deeper caramel flavor.
Let the glaze cool slightly for a thicker consistency.
