Caramel Pound Cake

3 Sticks Butter, soft
3 1/2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
2 Cups Light Brown Sugar, packed
1 1/2 Cups Granulated Sugar
6 Eggs, at room temp.
1 1/2 Cups Whole Milk, at room temp.

Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and set aside. In a mixing bowl, cream butter until fluffy, add brown sugar and granulated sugar and beat until light and smooth, stopping to scrape down often. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Alternate the flour and milk, beginning and ending with flour, mix until smooth. Grease and flour a bundt cake pan and then put batter into the prepared pan and bake in a pre-heated 325 degree oven about 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean. Let cool in pan on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes then remove and let cool completely.

Frosting:
1 Stick Butter
1 Cup Light Brown Sugar, packed
1/2 Cup Whole Milk
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
4 Cups powdered sugar

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and stir constantly until mixture is smooth and bubbling. Remove from heat and stir in milk. Let mixture cool completely. Stir in the vanilla, then slowly add the powdered sugar and stir until well blended and smooth. Frost the cake! YUM!
