Cream Cheese Pound Cake

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Make sure to grease a Bundt pan that can hold around 10 to 12 cups of batter.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl beat together the butter, cream cheese and sugar until the mixture becomes smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Next, add in the sour cream and vanilla extract while continuing to beat the mixture until it reaches a creamy consistency.

Step 4

Now gradually add the eggs one at a time into the mixing bowl making sure to mix after each addition.

Step 5

Pause the mixer for a moment. Then incorporate the cake flour, baking powder and salt. Mix everything together just until all ingredients are combined.

Step 6

Carefully pour the batter into the pan. Gently tap it on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles.

Step 7

Place it in the oven for 75 to 95 minutes. Around halfway, through baking time cover loosely with foil to prevent browning.

Step 8

To check if it's done baking, insert a toothpick into the cake; if it comes out clean without any batter sticking to it you know it's ready!

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in its pan for 2 hours. Afterward, carefully invert it onto a cooling rack so that it can cool completely.

Step 10

If desired serve this Cream Cheese Pound Cake with whipped cream and fresh berries, on top for a touch of decadence!

Enjoy your Cream Cheese Pound Cake!
