Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cupcake Recipes

Yield Makes 29

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
2 1/4 cups packed light-brown sugar
4 large eggs, room temperature
3/4 cup buttermilk
Brown-Butter Glaze

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners. Whisk dry ingredients in a large bowl. Cream butter and sugar with a mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each addition.
  • Reduce speed to low. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture in 3 additions, alternating with buttermilk and ending with dry. Scrape sides of bowl. Divide batter among muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.
  • Bake cupcakes until testers inserted into centers come out clean, 25 minutes. Let cool in tins on wire racks. (Unglazed cupcakes will keep, covered, for up to 3 days.) Set racks with cupcakes over parchment-lined baking sheets. Spoon glaze over tops, and let stand until set. Serve glazed cupcakes immediately.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure the batter mixes evenly and smoothly.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
  • If you do not have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be sure to preheat the oven before baking the cake to ensure even cooking.
  • Bake the cake using toothpick test to ensure it is done. Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake and if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
  • Let the cake cool completely before glazing it. This will help the glaze set properly.
  • If you prefer a thicker glaze, add more powdered sugar until you reach the desired consistency.

Conclusion:

With its moist, tender crumb and rich, buttery flavor, this brown sugar pound cake is a classic dessert that is sure to please everyone. The glaze adds a touch of sweetness and shine, making it the perfect finishing touch. Whether you are serving it for a special occasion or a casual get-together, this cake is sure to be a hit.
