I haven’t posted any cakes in a very long while…Often I have been asked by many of my readers to consider posting more baked goodies. I take those request whole heartedly and kick starting once again with Caramel Pound Cake.This is such a popular, simple and gorgeous cake, I’m sure, I don’t need to tell you much about it! I remember raving about these to my friends when I first tried,and most of them tried the recipe and loved it too.
Lately one of my reader Ms.Ansha Alex requested me to suggest caramel flavored cake for her husband birthday, so I recommended a couple of caramel flavored cakes. She choose caramel pound cake, so I’m posting this cake for her and of-course for all of you to try. I adapted this recipe from here and it’s so good.
So have your Carmel pound cake and eat it too with your favourite yummy ice cream or with whipped cream. The possibilities are endless! Enjoy!

Hi Chippy, Sure will keep your request in mind when posting next time. I use US cup measurement for all my recipes. My 1 cup is = 240 ml. This is slightly different from other countries which is 250 ml. As long as you use the same cup for measuring out each of your ingredients, the proportions should work out the same. Hope this helps!
Thanks!

Could you please the cup measurement quantity in grams…
Thanks Hari Chandana!
Very pretty cake.. yummy!! 😀
You're welcome Ansha!
Hi Ansha, I'm really happy to know that the cake turned out well and to see the list of items you tried from this space, wow! Thanks for taking time to share your feedback here, appreciate it very much 🙂
coming to your doubt…Honestly I too had the same doubt and experience when I tried first time, but then rechecked the original recipe and it calls for 4 cups.That is reason I mentioned in notes to thin the icing with more milk if needed to get the correct consistency. Hope you continue to enjoy more recipes from here.
Cheers!
