Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups brown sugar, packed
- 4 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup sliced almonds, for topping
- Optional: Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions to Cake Heaven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch loaf pans. Make sure they’re ready to catch all that delicious goodness!
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar together until it’s as fluffy as a cloud on a sunny day.
- Add those four eggs, but don’t just drop them in—whisk them into the mix like you mean it!
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually stir that dry goodness into your buttery mixture. Combine well and try not to eat it—yet.
- Now, it’s time for a splash of flavor—add the vanilla extract and sour cream. Mix until it’s a smooth, dreamy batter.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans, but don’t go all the way to the top; we don’t want an explosion of cake! Sprinkle the sliced almonds on top like you’re decorating a cake for royalty.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The aroma will make you wonder how you managed to survive this long without a slice.
- Let them cool for a bit before removing from pans, and if you’re feeling fancy, dust it with powdered sugar before serving!
Now you’re all set to enjoy a slice (or maybe two… or the whole thing!) of this Brown Sugar Almond Crunch Pound Cake. Perfect for any occasion—or just because you deserve a treat today. Happy baking!
