This classic cream cheese pound cake is buttery, dense, and melts in your mouth. With just six basic ingredients, it's easy to whip up and always a crowd-pleaser.
Prep the Pan Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube or Bundt pan.
Cream Butter & Cream Cheese In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add Sugar Gradually mix in the sugar. Continue beating until light and fluffy.
Add Eggs Add the eggs two at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Add Flour & Vanilla Add all the flour at once, mixing just until combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Bake Pour the batter into your prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Start checking around the 1-hour mark.
Cool & Serve Allow the cake to cool in the pan before transferring to a wire rack or serving plate. Serve as is or dust with powdered sugar for a little extra flair.
Serving Suggestions
This cake is delicious on its own, but pairs beautifully with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a drizzle of fruit sauce.
