"This Buttermilk Pound Cake is a moist and dense classic with a creamy caramel twist. You’ll never need another pound cake recipe after you try this caramel pound cake! I’ve always loved a good pound cake. You can’t go wrong with tons of butter and sugar, right? But no pound cake I’ve ever had stands up to this amazing buttermilk pound cake! The great thing about this buttermilk pound cake recipe is that although the buttermilk and caramel in it make it luscious and moist, it’s actually super easy to make. "
