My favourite dessert is this rich, buttery, and sweet Cream Cheese Pound Cake. It hits all the sweet spots, and I enjoy it any time of the day.
INGREDIENTS
3 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature (1 1/2 c or 340 grams)
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature (1 bar)
3 c sugar
6 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 c all-purpose ¡our
2 tsp salt
nonstick cooking spray
How to make Cream Cheese Pound Cake
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F.
Step 2: Beat the butter and cream cheese using an electric mixer until smooth.
Step 3: Add in the sugar and beat for another 5 minutes or until light and fluffy.
Step 4: Add the eggs a piece at a time, beating every after each addition.
Step 5: Stir in the vanilla.
Step 6: Adjust the mixer on low and add in two additions the flour and salt. Continue to beat until just mixed.
Step 7: Use cooking spray to grease two 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2-inch loaf pans. Pour in the batter and gently tap to remove any large air bubbles.
Step 8: Place inside the preheated oven and bake for about 60 to 70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Use aluminium foil to tent the cake if the tops start to brown pretty quickly.
Step 9: Once done, remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes.
Step 10: Flip the cakes to remove from the pan and set on a wire rack to fully cool.
