Alex Bala’s Maple Brown Butter Pound Cake

This maple brown butter pound cake is rich, nutty and perfectly moist. The maple adds cozy sweetness, and a drizzle of cream cheese frosting makes every bite even better than the first! It's a simple yet impressive cake for any occasion. —Alex Bala, Longmont, Colorado
