Cream Cheese Pound Cake Recipe

May 30, 2017 by Mommy Evolution 34 Comments

Pound cake is an amazing base for so many different desserts. This cream cheese pound cake recipe is super moist and sweet enough to eat all on its own. You could easily eat it with a simple dollop of whipped cream or as the base to a fabulous strawberry shortcake.

Cream Cheese Pound Cake Recipe | The Jenny Evolution

Cream Cheese Pound Cake Recipe

Cream together the butter, sugar, and cream cheese until it is light and fluffy.

Pound Cake Plain-1

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the bowl as necessary. Add in the vanilla and mix until combined. Combine the dry ingredients and whisk them to combine. Make sure to not skimp on this step! There’s not much worse than biting into a bit of not-mixed-in baking powder. Yuck! Add the dry to the wet and mix until incorporated.

Pour the batter into two large prepared loaf pans, or one large bundt pan.

Pound Cake Plain-2

Bake at 325 for 1 ΒΌ – 1 Β½ hours, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in the pans, and then turn out and cool on a wire rack.

    why do recipes call for plain flour and add baking powder instead of just using self rising flour?

      Because you can control the amount of “rising” that happens by choosing the amount of each ingredient.

    Oh I love this recipe! It’s been my go to recipe for ages. I’ve baked so many of these Southern Living Cream Cheese Pound Cakes. People go crazy for them. If anyone has any hesitation about baking it, seriously do! They’re best!! If your interested, they’re great for carving as well. Gives a really tight crumb. I’ve done one here if your interested. πŸ™‚ http://www.madewithpink.com/2014/04/easter-bunny-cream-cheese-pound-cake/

    Pound cake is one thing I have never made. Seeing the name of the recipe on Friday Flash I had to have a look with my passion for cream cheese. It looks good and seems easy to make, if I ever make pound cake this will be the recipe I use.

      It is!!! My favorite way to eat it is just with a scoop of ice cream…and maybe some strawberries on the side. It doesn’t need much beyond the actual cake πŸ™‚

    I am diabetic so could you use Spenda instead of sugar.

      January 26, 2016 at 12:42 pm

      Absolutely… but I would pay attention to what Splenda says about baking with it. I know they have a baking blend.
