• Friday, April 4, 2008 - Incredible Pound Cake
I made this to go along with fresh strawberries and cream. I haven't made a pound cake before, but this came out WONDERFUL! It's another great find from Recipezaar.
Incredible Pound Cake
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cup butter, softened
3 cups sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (or almond, if desired)
6 eggs
3 cups flour
Blend together cream cheese and butter for 2 minutes.
Gradually add the sugar and beat for 5 full minutes.
Add the vanilla and then the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.
Gradually add the flour, mixing on low. Mix until blended, but do not overbeat.
Grease and flour a 10" tube pan. Bake at 325 for 90 minutes. Cool about ten minutes, then remove to a cooling rack.
I don't have one so I used 2 loaf pans. I should have used three, fwiw. I used granulated sugar instead of flour and it made a very good crust.
*UPDATE- I purchased a 10" bundt pan and made this again today. All the batter fit well in the pan and the cake came out great. I used powdered sugar this time rather than granulated. Everyone preferred the caramelized granulated crust.
