Ingredients
For the Cake
3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour
2 cups (440 g) packed light brown sugar
1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (240 ml) sour cream
5 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk
For the Caramel Glaze
1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter
1 cup (220 g) packed brown sugar
1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons coarse sugar or chopped pecans, optional
Preparation Steps
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Generously grease and flour a 10–12 cup Bundt pan.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and creamy.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla.
5. Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with the sour cream and milk. Mix just until the batter is smooth and combined.
6. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top.
7. Bake for 65–75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the thickest part comes out clean.
8. Cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate and allow it to cool.
9. For the glaze, melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in the brown sugar and heavy cream and bring to a gentle boil. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly.
10. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and a pinch of salt. Let the glaze thicken slightly, then slowly spoon it over the Bundt cake.
11. Finish with coarse sugar or chopped pecans if desired and allow the glaze to set before slicing.
