Cream cheese pound cake is a family favorite!  It's a simple recipe to throw together, that uses scratch ingredients.  You 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.

    1. You sure can! Just dust them with a little flour and they won't sink anymore ;)

    1. I would use all purpose because there isn't any leavening agent in the recipe like there is in self rising flour.

  16. Looks delish. However your "print friendly" version just spit 5 pages out with all the photos. Not really what print friendly means.
