Cold Oven Brown Sugar Pound Cake- A creamy buttery pound cake that starts in a cold oven. A drizzle of caramel sauce is the perfect finishing touch.
This is one mammoth pound cake that we are sharing today. Let’s jump right in!
Ingredients List:
- Flour + Salt + Baking Soda + Baking Powder
- Sugars: Brown & White
- Eggs
- Vanilla
- Butter
- Oil ( Canola or vegetable)
- Plain Greek yogurt ( or sour cream)
- Caramel Sauce
What Does Cold Oven Mean? Normally, you will preheat your oven before baking. However, with a cold oven cake, you don’t. You literally place your pan filled with batter into a cold oven. Then, you turn on the oven temperature and bake.
This pound cake is very heavy and doesn’t rise much. Starting it in a cold oven will let it rise slowly, along with the oven temp.
Homemade Caramel Sauce: I have included a link to my favorite ( and very easy) homemade caramel sauce recipe in the recipe card. If desired, use your own recipe or favorite store bought brand.
Pan Size: You will need 10-12 cup bundt (fluted) pan for this cake. If you don’t have one, the batter will also fit into 2- 8/9 inch loaf pans.
Tips for a Perfect Bundt Removal:
- Use a generous amount of non stick baking spray. You can also use a good old fashion stick of butter to grease it too or use a cooking spray with flour included in. See recipe card for my preferred brand.
- Make sure your cake is well cooled before attempting to remove it. Let it sit 10-15 minutes beforehand. Gently, take a sharp knife and run it along the edge and middle of the cake.
- Tip the cake upside down on a plate. Be sure the plate is larger than your cake. Let the cake fall naturally and if it’s still stubborn, give the bottom of your cake pan a gentle tap.
