Cream Cheese Pound Cake
This Cream Cheese Pound Cake combines a smooth cream cheese and butter base with cake flour and buttermilk, resulting in a dense yet tender crumb. The gradual addition of sugar and eggs creates a light, fluffy batter that bakes into a rich, moist cake with a subtle tang from the cream cheese. It's finished simply with a dusting of powdered sugar.

Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese 1 package at room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups butter room temperature, salted
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 6 egg room temperature, large
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups cake flour you can use all-purpose flour but the cake will be denser
- 1/4 cup buttermilk room temperature
- powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Spray a large 10-inch bundt pan with non-stick spray.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth, about 3 minutes.
- Gradually add the sugar, one cup at a time, and mix until light and fluffy. Stop to scrape the bottom and sides of the pan.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition, and finally stir in the vanilla extract.
- With the mixer running on low speed, add the cake flour and mix just until combined.
- Pour in the buttermilk and mix it by hand until just incorporated. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.
- Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan, do NOT fill it to the brim. Bake for 1 hour and check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake, if it comes out with a few crumbs, but no wet batter, the cake is done. If needed bake it for 20 minutes more.
- Remove the cake and place it on a wire rack to cool to room temperature. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
