Brown Sugar Caramel Pound Cake

One of my favorite desserts is pound cake. The brown sugar caramel pound cake recipe listed below is delicious.

Years ago, I sold Watkins products, and got some caramel extract in one of my monthly sales products collections. I tried it and loved it.

For a while, every dessert I served had caramel flavoring in it.  My family enjoyed it, too. I am no longer a representative of Watkins products. Happily, I can get my favorite Watkins products online.

This is one of our favorite caramel desserts:
