Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pound Cake | Like a PopTart, But Cake!

Brown Sugar-Cinnamon Pound Cake I developed this brown sugar cinnamon version of my master pound cake recipe because I have always liked the idea of brown sugar cinnamon Pop-Tarts. But then I'd eat one and it would be dry and stupid, and I'd be sad. This cake has all the flavor of a brown sugar cinnamon Pop-Tart, but it's so much better. It is moist and tender and wonderful. Before I get to the recipe, I want to make sure you'll have success making it. Please watch the video ... continue reading...

I have a whole category dedicated to pound cakes on the blog, and I like to come up with new flavors almost every time I make it.

Favorite Pound Cake Recipes from Pasty Chef Online

When I saw the boy with the Odd Hair sitting by himself in the dining hall the first day of freshman year, I had no idea that one day he would become The Beloved.
