For the caramel frosting:

* Brown sugar

* Heavy cream
* Powdered sugar
* Vanilla extract

#### How to Make Sour Cream Pound Cake with Caramel Frosting:

1. **Prepare the batter:** Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in sour cream and vanilla extract.
2. **Mix dry ingredients:** In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. **Combine:** Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
4. **Bake:** Pour the batter into a greased loaf or bundt pan. Bake at 325°F (163°C) for about 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
5. **Make the caramel frosting:** In a saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar until bubbly, then stir in heavy cream and powdered sugar until smooth and thickened.
6. **Frost the cake:** Once the cake has cooled, generously spread the caramel frosting on top.

#### Tips for Success:

* Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and texture.
* Don’t overmix the batter to keep the cake tender.
* Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
* For an extra touch, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the caramel frosting to enhance the flavors.
