Brown Sugar Cinnamon Cake Recipes

BROWN SUGAR CINNAMON POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F and prepare your Bundt-type pan with pan spray and flour. (Or use a combination of loaf pans, cake pans, etc, if you don't have a 12 cup Bundt pan).
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda. Set aside.
• Cream butter until smooth. Add salt, vanilla, and cinnamon. Since fat carries flavor, this seems like an excellent time to add the flavoring agents.
• Add sugars, making sure that your brown sugar is sifted.
• Cream on medium-high speed until very light and fluffy, making sure to scrape the sides of the mixing bowl as necessary.
• Drizzle the eggs in a bit at a time, beating on medium speed.
• These next additions all get mixed in on low speed for 10 seconds each: half the dry ingredients, half the buttermilk, half the remaining dry ingredients, the rest of the buttermilk, the rest of the dry ingredients
• Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl and then mix on high speed for about 3 seconds. Seriously--no more than that.
• Pour in your very softly whipped cream and fold it in by hand.
• If using a 12 cup Bundt, pour into your prepared pan and bake in the center of the oven for an hour. Test for doneness and bake another five-ten minutes if necessary. Timing for cake layers will be less, as will cupcakes. If you bake in a loaf pan/s, that will take about an hour as well. Just check for doneness by gently pressing the tops of the cakes. They're done when they spring back. They will be a very deep golden brown, may have some cracks in the top, will be just beginning to pull away from the sides of the pan, and will read about 200F on an instant read thermometer.
• Let cool on a rack in the pan for twenty minutes. Turn the cake out on a rack and let it cool completely.
• Glaze and decorate as desired, or leave plain.
