PEEKABOO PUMPKIN POUND CAKE RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Mix up pumpkin bread ingredients according to the directions on the box. Add orange food coloring to make it more "pumpkin-y" looking (less brown). Bake in a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan according to directions. Remove from oven before completely done, about 8-10 minutes less than instructed. Let cool, remove from pan and refrigerate for up to four hours. Cut cold pumpkin bread into large slices. Cut pumpkin shapes from slices. Align them down the center of a lightly greased and floured 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Mix up your pound cake batter according to the directions on the box. Pour over your pumpkin bread cutouts in the pan, making sure to cover the tops of the pumpkins. You may have more pound cake batter than you need. Try not to overfill the pan. Bake according to the directions on the box. Let cool when done. Meanwhile, prepare the brown butter pecan icing. Put powdered sugar in a mixing bowl. In a saucepan, melt butter and boil, stirring until it starts to brown and form dark flecks on the sides and bottom. Remove from heat. Pour the melted brown butter and flecks over the powdered sugar. Add the evaporated milk and vanilla. Stir until combined and creamy. Add more powdered sugar if it appears too runny or more evaporated milk if it seems too stiff. Remove baked and cooled pound cake from pan and top with brown butter icing. Add chopped pecans, if desired. Cut into slices and delight your guests with the pumpkin-shaped surprise that peeks out from inside!

CLASSIC POUND CAKE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 10-inch Bundt pan or 2 8 x 5-inch (20 x 12 cm) loaf pans with nonstick spray.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
• In a large bowl, combine the butter, sugar, and salt. Beat with an electric hand mixer on medium speed for about 6 minutes, or until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula and beat again for 1-2 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
• With the mixer running on low speed, add the buttermilk and vanilla. Increase the mixer speed to high and beat for 30 seconds.
• Add ⅓ of the flour mixture and beat on medium speed until incorporated. Add ½ of the sour cream and beat until incorporated. Continue alternating additions of flour and sour cream, scraping down the sides of the bowl between each addition. Beat on medium speed after all of the flour is incorporated for about 1 minute, until the batter is well combined.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared Bundt pan or divide between the loaf pans and bake for about 60 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted to the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan(s) for 15-20 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack and unmold from the pan(s). Let cool completely.
• Slice and serve.
• Enjoy!
