Cream cheese pound cake is a classic dessert that has been around for generations. It’s a simple yet delicious treat that can be enjoyed by everyone. With just a few pantry ingredients and some time, you can make this old-fashioned cake the traditional way. This recipe will take you through all the steps to make this delicious cream cheese pound cake from scratch. It’s a simple recipe to throw together, toss it in the oven and enjoy the wonderful smell while it’s baking. This recipe makes a heavy, dense cake…the way a pound cake should be!
Ingredients are as follows:
1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, room temperature
1 1/2 C butter, softened
3 C white sugar
6 eggs
3 C all-purpose flour
2 tsp. vanilla extract
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a
bundt pan or a 10 inch tube pan.
Cream together the cream cheese and butter until smooth.
Add the sugar slowly and continue to mix until fluffy. (I usually mix mine for around five minutes so the sugar is thoroughly mixed, resulting in a nice fluffy mixture.)
Add the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each one.
Stir in the flour (by hand) until completely incorporated.
Stir in the vanilla and pour into the prepared pan.
Bake in pre-heated oven for 65-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
Allow to cool for ten minutes; remove from pan. Slice, serve and enjoy!
This cake was very delicious!! I just had a hard time getting it out of the pan and it kind of fell apart! Lol!!!
So happy you enjoyed it, thank you!
So how dose it rise with using all propose flour and no baking soda and/ or baking powder
From the air that is beaten in while creaming the sugar and butter.
Looks delish. However your "print friendly" version just spit 5 pages out with all the photos. Not really what print friendly means.
It is very print friendly…you have the option to print/not print the pictures. All you have to do is check the box 😉
Oh, this looks so delicious. I'm trying to eat more healthily; however, I think I'll make this for Easter 2014 dessert and eat cautiously!
can you use self rising flour
I would use all purpose because there isn't any leavening agent in the recipe like there is in self rising flour.
thank you
