Super Delicious Cream Cheese Pound Cake Recipe
(a.k.a. The most heavenly tasting food you will put in your mouth… and after you see the ingredient list, you’ll know why!)
I discovered this recipe about a year ago (of course) and it’s one of my husband’s favorite desserts! Which is saying a lot because he is not a sweets person like, at all! Forewarning, it takes approx. 2 hours for this to cook, I assume because it’s so thick and heavy, so only make it when you will be home for a while so it can cook. But it’s definitely worth it! I like putting it in the over before we cook dinner, so by the time we finish eating and digest, it’ll be ready to take out for dessert. Here’s the recipe:
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups softened butter (that’s 3 normal-sized sticks)
- 1 8oz brick of softened cream cheese
- 3 cups white sugar
- 6 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Steps
(I use my Kitchen Aid standing mixer, so I pretty much leave the mixer going the whole time while I add ingredients)
We like to eat this cake with sugar strawberries (just slice up strawberries and pour some sugar on top and cover in the fridge for about a day or so) and some whipped cream! I prefer homemade whipped cream and it’s super easy to make – just mix heaving whipping cream with powdered sugar with a hand blender (gradually increasing the speed) until it gets thick. I also like this cake by itself, just as a “light” snack. Haha.
It really is super delicious, so I hope you love it if you decide to make it! Let me know if you do in the comments!
