Time 1h25m

Yield 1 cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/8 cups butter, unsalted
2 cups cake flour (not self-rising, sift before measuring)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
4 eggs, large
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon Bourbon (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F with rack in middle. Butter and lightly flour an 8 1/2- by 4 1/2-inch loaf pan.
  • Heat butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until milk solids on bottom are a dark chocolate brown. Transfer to a shallow bowl and chill in freezer until just congealed, about 15 minutes.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Beat together brown butter and sugars with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla and then the bourbon (!). At low speed, mix in flour mixture until just incorporated.
  • Transfer batter to pan, smoothing top, then rap pan on counter to settle batter. Bake until golden-brown and a wooden pick inserted into center comes out clean, 1 to 1 1/4 hours.
  • Cool in pan 30 minutes, then invert cake onto a rack and cool completely, right side up, 1 hour.

This pound cake was a delight! The brown butter added a rich, nutty flavor that was perfectly complemented by the moist, dense crumb. I loved the simple glaze on top, which added a touch of sweetness without being overpowering. Overall, this is a fan
