BROWNED BUTTER POUND CAKE
The pound cake is the underdog of the dessert world. It's not flashy. It's old-fashioned. It's simple. But I implore you to take a closer look. If you give it a chance, the pound cake will never disappoint. This cake gets a flavor boost from browned butter, the aromatic liquid you get when you melt butter and cook it until the milk solids have turned golden brown and the butter smells nutty. It's heavenly stuff and makes this pound cake even better.

Steps:
- In a medium light-colored skillet, melt 16 tablespoons (2 sticks) of the butter over medium-high heat. Cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the milk solids are golden brown and the butter smells nutty, 4 to 6 minutes. Immediately transfer the butter to a large bowl (this will be for the cake batter); be sure to scrape out the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Wipe the skillet out and repeat the same process with the remaining 3 tablespoons butter. Transfer the butter to a medium bowl (this will be for the glaze). Set both bowls aside until the butter has solidified to the texture of softened butter.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 4 1/2- by 8 1/2-inch loaf pan.
- To prepare the cake, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and set aside. Add the granulated sugar to the 2 sticks of browned butter and beat the mixture with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Then add the vanilla bean seeds. Beat in the flour mixture just until combined. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan.
- Bake until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 60 to 70 minutes. Transfer the cake to a rack to cool for 20 minutes, then remove the cake from the pan and let cool completely.
- Add the cream cheese to the 3 tablespoons browned butter and beat with an electric mixer on medium until fluffy. Beat in the confectioners' sugar. Add enough milk to the mixture to make a thick but pourable glaze. Top the cooled cake with the glaze before slicing.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 2 (8 1/2 by 4 1/2 by 2 1/2-inch) loaf pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter and granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment for about 5 minutes, or until light and fluffy. With the mixer on medium speed, beat in the eggs, 1 at a time.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, combine the buttermilk and vanilla. Add the flour and buttermilk mixtures alternately to the batter, beginning and ending with the flour. Divide the batter evenly between the pans, smooth the tops, and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until a cake tester comes out clean.
- When the cakes are done, let them cool for 10 minutes. Take them out of the pans, place them on a baking rack and allow them to cool completely. Wrap well, and store in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- Place a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour the pan of your choice.
- Sift the flour and salt into a medium bowl and set aside. Whisk the whole eggs, yolks, milk, and the vanilla together in a 4-cup measuring cup or bowl, and set aside. In a heavy duty mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter at a medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Gradually pour in the sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, to cream and lighten the butter. (This should take about 3 minutes.) Once all the sugar is added, turn the machine off and scrape down the sides of the bowl and paddle with a rubber spatula. Continue to beat the butter mixture until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the lemon zest and beat for 30 seconds more.
- Turn the machine off and scrape the sides of the bowl again to assure even incorporation of the ingredients. Turn the mixer to its lowest setting. Gradually pour in the flour, 1/4 cup at a time, and beat the batter for 30 seconds. Gradually add the egg mixture. (It should take about a minute to pour all of it into the batter.) Remove the bowl from the mixer, scrape any batter off the paddle, and finish stirring the egg mixture into the batter with a rubber spatula. Take care not to over mix the batter, but make sure that you scrape the bottom of the bowl to evenly incorporate all of the ingredients.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and smooth over the top with a spatula. Put the cake in the oven and reduce the temperature to 325 degrees F. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, and the top springs back when lightly pressed, about 1 hour and 30 minutes, for the tube or Bundt pans; and 50 minutes to 1 hour for loaf pans.
- Cool the cake, in the pan, on a rack, for 10 to 15 minutes. Invert the cake onto a flat plate or cardboard. Re-invert the cake and set it right side up on the rack to cool completely. If not serving the same day, wrap in plastic wrap and store at room temperature, for 4 to 5 days or freeze for 1 month.
BROWN-BUTTER POUNDCAKE
This rich and nutty loaf is deeply flavorful and incredibly tender owing to plenty of brown butter and toasty hazelnuts. A thin layer of crackly lemon icing lightens and brightens it. Enjoy this cake with a cup of tea in the afternoon, or top it with cream and berries for a delicious dessert. Either way, you may find yourself sneaking a little slice every time you walk by the plate.

Steps:
- Brown the butter: Melt the butter in a small skillet set over medium heat. (Use a skillet with a light interior so you can easily see the milk solids change color.) Cook the butter, stirring occasionally and scraping the milk solids off the bottom and sides of the pan as needed, until the milk solids turn golden brown and smell toasty, about 2 minutes. Transfer the butter to a small bowl and refrigerate until slightly firm and creamy looking but not totally hardened, about 30 to 60 minutes. (It should be the texture of a softened stick of butter.)
- Heat oven to 350 degrees with a rack set in the center. Butter an 8-by-4-inch loaf pan and line it with a strip of parchment paper that hangs over the two long sides.
- Add the hazelnuts to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Add the flour and baking powder, and pulse to combine.
- Combine the chilled browned butter, sugar, lemon zest and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or use a large bowl and electric hand mixer. Mix on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, stopping the mixer once or twice to scrape down the sides of the bowl and paddle, about 5 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at time, completely mixing each egg in before adding the next.
- With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour. Stop the mixer occasionally to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl to ensure the batter is evenly mixed.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake until golden and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 55 to 65 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then use the parchment paper to lift it out of the pan and onto a rack to cool completely.
- When the cake is cool, make the glaze: Whisk the confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons lemon juice until smooth. Add a bit more juice if necessary to make a pourable but opaque glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled loaf and let it set for about 15 minutes before slicing. Store the cake covered, at room temperature, for about 4 days.

- Slice the butter up into pieces and place in a light-colored skillet. (Light colored helps you determine when the butter begins browning.) Melt the butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once melted, the butter will begin to foam. Keep stirring occasionally. After 5-8 minutes, the butter will begin browning– you’ll notice lightly browned specks begin to form at the bottom of the pan and it will have a nutty aroma. See photo above for a visual. Once browned, remove from heat immediately and pour into a large tupperware or a 9×13 baking pan. Cover tightly, place in the refrigerator or freezer, and chill until solid. I always place mine in the freezer. It only takes about 45 minutes this way.
- Remove the brown butter from the refrigerator or freezer and allow to slightly soften on the counter for 15-30 minutes.
