Caramel Pound Cake for #Bundtamonth
Sometimes I think as we get older our tastes change. When I was young I loved meat and potatoes. I didn’t have much of a sweet tooth.
Now that I am older, boy have things changed. I am now really craving the sweets. I really love caramel. Just the thought of it makes my mouth water.
So when I found out this months theme was caramel, I was so happy. I couldn’t wait to figure out what to make.
The Hubster loves sweets too. While I was making this and taking the pictures, he was all over it. He could not wait for me to finish so he could dive in. That is exactly what he did.
On the negative side, when you read the ingredients you will see that there is a lot of sugar in this cake. I was surprised to, so I just had a little sliver. I didn’t want to go into a sugar coma. The thing is, it didn’t taste that overtly sugary.
I think you should give this cake a try. I thought it was very good. Even with all that sugar it had good flavor.
This is not only great for dessert, but if you were having afternoon tea it would be great with a cup of Earl Gray, or a cappuccino.

Peace be with you,

a soft tender crumb and a luscious glaze – just perfect, veronica!
Beautiful Bundt, Vonnie! I don’t think that’s an unreasonable amount of sugar at all. Or did you mean the icing? Never mind, though, because I think this cake must be worth all the calories.
Who cares about the sugar in the cake? Besides, it has brown sugar and that is even better! Love the caramel frosting.
That thick layer of frosting looks so ridiculously good! I’ll have a big slice with the Earl Gray tea, please. 🙂
I love your idea of a slice with a cup o’ tea.
I love caramel cake, so I can’t wait to try this version. It looks much simpler than my cake, which means I could make it more often. Wait a minute…is that really a good thing? 😉
Whoa!! This cake sounds amazing!! Lovely.
I’ve always had a sweet tooth. . I always say God gave me TWO when he was handing them out 😛 anyways, love the bundt cake!!! looks fabulous!
I think I too would have started with a small piece…then helped myself to a few more slices too! You made a lovely cake and the icing is mouth-watering too.
Now this looks & sounds divine!!!
I will be trying this one out for sure, thanks for sharing!
Beautiful cake, Veronica! I love baking with brown sugar. You are right, they are not so overly sweet as you would expect. And that icing…..just luscious! : )
Your cake looks irresistible, Veronica. Earl Grey would be a lovely accompaniment.
When you’re indulging, it’s okay to have the sugar. Especially if caramel is involved! Your bundt looks great! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Great Bundt cake, it looks lovely.
The cake is delicious, but it stuck. Did anyone else have this problem? I halved the recipe and filled two baby bundt pans (24 baby bundts, in total) and they ALL stuck and became a crumble once I forked them out. I have never had this problem before. The bundts always pop out! I sprayed the pans prior… and I let the cakes cool completely. Don’t know what I did wrong 🙁
Em,
I am not sure what to say. I have had my bundts stick especially my rose one. There are lots of nooks and cranies to cover and sometimes I dont get them all. It shouldnt have stuck on just a standard bundt pan. Sometimes though this happens. The only thing I can think of is if not only spray your pan, but also put some flour on it. That may give you a better result. Let me know how it goes.
This cake became one of our favorite cakes to eat this year! Family & coworkers LOVED it!!
I am so glad to hear that.
I am so glad to her that Jett.
