BROWN SUGAR BUNDT CAKE WITH SAUCE

I took the time this weekend to play with one of my new toys I received for Christmas.  Isnt it funny to think back and see just how much our Christmas lists change throughout the years. 
We go from wanting Barbie Dolls to wanting a Bundt pan!
My Hubby loved this recipe.  I added a chopped apple to the cake.
Enjoy!


Cake:
2 1/4
cups Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
1/2
teaspoon baking powder
1/2
teaspoon salt
1 1/2
cups packed light brown sugar
3/4
cup granulated sugar
1

4

teaspoons vanilla
3/4
cup milk
Sauce:
1
cup butter
1/2
cup packed light brown sugar

Heat oven to 350ºF. Grease bottom and side of 12-cup fluted tube cake pan or 10-inch angel food (tube cake) pan with shortening; lightly flour. In medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
  1. In large bowl, beat 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, the granulated sugar and softened butter with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on medium speed about 5 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally, until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add 2 teaspoons vanilla. Beat in flour mixture alternately with 3/4 cup milk on low speed until smooth. Pour into pan.
  2. Bake 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours.
  3. Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, heat sauce ingredients except vanilla to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly; boil and stir 2 minutes. Remove from heat; cool to room temperature. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Serve warm sauce with cake.
