Cream cheese pound cake is super moist and slightly tangy.

Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups unsalted butter softened
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 2 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 6 eggs room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease and flour a bundt pan.
- In a stand mixer, combine butter and cream cheese on medium speed for 2 minutes. Gradually add the sugar and continue to beat for an additional 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Mix in vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until full incorporated.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared bundt pan and spread it evenly. Bake 65-75 minutes or until a wood skewer or toothpick inserted 1" from the edge comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to rest in the pan for 5 minutes. Then remove the cake from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
- Optional Glaze: Combine 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar with 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 1/2 tablespoons of milk. Whisk adding more milk (you may need up to 3 tablespoons) to create a thin glaze. Brush or drizzle the glaze over the cooled pound cake and let set.
- Ensure ingredients are at room temperature.
- Beating the butter/sugar mixture for a longer time adds air into the mixture and helps with rise.
- Ensure you measure the flour by spooning the flour into the measuring cup (not scooping the flour).
- Do not overmix the cake once the flour is added or the cake will be dense.
- Invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
