Cream Cheese Pound Cake Recipe

Ingredients

1 ½ cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

3 cups granulated sugar

6 large eggs, room temperature

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt or tube pan.

Cream Butter and Cream Cheese: In a large bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Add Sugar: Gradually add the sugar, beating continuously for about 5 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Mix Dry Ingredients: Sift together the flour and salt in a separate bowl, then gradually add this mixture to the batter, beating on low speed until just combined.

Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract to add a hint of sweetness.

Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Check if it’s done by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.

Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
