Cream Cheese Pound Cake Recipe


Cream Cheese Pound Cake Recipe

Cream Cheese Pound Cake (Classic, Moist & Velvety)

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon fine salt

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder (optional — traditional pound cakes don’t use it, but it adds a tiny lift)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

  • 8 oz (1 brick) cream cheese, softened

  • 3 cups granulated sugar

  • 6 large eggs, room temperature

  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

  • (Optional) ½ teaspoon almond extract for a bakery-style aroma


🥣 Instructions (Detailed)

1. Prep the Pan

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).

  • Generously grease a 10-inch Bundt pan or large tube pan with butter, then dust with flour (or use baking spray with flour).

  • Make sure every crevice is coated to avoid sticking.


2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together:

  • Flour

  • Salt

  • Baking powder (if using)

Set aside.


3. Cream Butter, Cream Cheese & Sugar

This is the heart of any pound cake.

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and cream cheese together until very smooth — 2–3 minutes.

  • Add sugar gradually and beat for 5–7 minutes until light, pale, and fluffy.

    • This long creaming step creates tiny air bubbles that give the cake its luscious but light crumb.


4. Add Eggs One at a Time

  • Add eggs one by one, beating well after each.

  • Scrape the bowl often to ensure even mixing.

  • Add vanilla (and almond extract if using).


5. Add Dry Ingredients Slowly

  • Add the flour mixture in three additions, mixing on low speed until just combined.

  • Do not overmix — once the flour disappears, stop.


6. Fill the Pan

  • Spoon thick batter into the prepared pan.

  • Smooth the top with a spatula.

  • Tap lightly on the counter to release trapped air.


7. Bake

  • Bake at 325°F (165°C) for 75–90 minutes, depending on your oven and pan.
    The cake is done when:

  • A long skewer inserted in the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs

  • The top springs back gently when touched

If browning too fast, tent loosely with foil near the end.


8. Cool Properly

  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes.

  • Then invert onto a wire rack and cool completely (at least 1 hour).

Cream cheese pound cake gets better the next day as the flavor settles and the crumb sets.


✨ Optional Flavors & Variations

Lemon Cream Cheese Pound Cake

  • Add 2 tablespoons lemon zest

  • Add 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • Replace vanilla with lemon extract

Marble Cream Cheese Pound Cake

  • Reserve 1 cup batter

  • Mix in 2–3 tablespoons cocoa powder

  • Alternate spoonfuls of plain + chocolate batter and swirl lightly

Vanilla Bean Pound Cake

  • Add seeds from 1 vanilla bean

  • Use 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Berry Cream Cheese Pound Cake

  • Fold in 1–1 ½ cups blueberries or raspberries tossed in flour to prevent sinking.


🍽️ Serving Suggestions

  • Toast a slice and top with butter or jam

  • Add a dusting of powdered sugar

  • Pair with coffee, hot chocolate, or tea


📦 Storage

  • Room temperature: 4–5 days wrapped tightly

This black walnut pound cake recipe is reminiscent of those made by our grandmothers and is at least a century old. You can enjoy this cake with or without icing, but it is truly delightful on its own. Nothing compares to a warm slice of classic black walnut cake on a crisp autumn day. Enjoy!

WHY WE ADORE THIS RECIPE
If you have been following our website for any length of time, you are aware of our fondness for traditional recipes! We take pride in our efforts to include them all on our site, but naturally, we must first prepare them. We feature several wonderful pound cakes on our site, and this one was missing. We added cream cheese frosting to it, and it was a hit. The distinctive flavor of black walnuts is one we cherish.

🍴ESSENTIAL INGREDIENTS
  • White sugar
  • Butter
  • All-purpose flour
  • Vanilla extract or flavoring
  • Eggs
  • Black walnut kernels

HOW TO PREPARE
This is a traditional pound cake, which means it does not contain a leavening agent; the eggs are responsible for the rise in this recipe. It is accurate as stated.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.

Step 2
In a mixing bowl or an electric mixer, add the ingredients in the specified order. Beat on high speed for 5 minutes.

Step 3
Pour the mixture into the bundt pan and bake for 60-75 minutes or until fully cooked.

Black Walnut Pound Cake
We added cream cheese frosting and attempted to pipe it onto the cake, which did not turn out perfectly because my piping equipment malfunctioned, and I had to freehand it! HAHA! However, if you follow us, you know we prioritize flavor over perfection and enjoy our time in the kitchen. I wasn’t going to remake the entire cake, so we embraced the outcome!

SUGGESTION
This cake does not contain a leavening agent, and it is accurate as written. The eggs are what cause the cake to rise. Additionally, you can use any frosting you prefer, and you can also apply the cream cheese frosting all over the cake instead of using the piping method.

RECIPE VARIATIONS

Pecan Sour Cream Pound Cake



Pecan Sour Cream Pound Cake

Homemade Southern Pecan Pound Cake is undoubtedly the most moist and delicious pound cake you will ever taste! It is packed with flavor and consistently turns out perfectly!

A MOIST HOMEMADE POUND CAKE
If there is one timeless dessert recipe that I repeatedly return to, it is pound cake. It has endured through the years for a reason. Every Southern cook possesses a cherished pound cake recipe. There are countless ways to add unique twists to the fundamental recipe!

CAN I SUBSTITUTE WALNUTS FOR PECANS?
Certainly. While pecans are the traditional nut favored in the South, and they are plentiful in this region, they happen to be my personal favorite! However, you can definitely opt for walnuts or even macadamia nuts. I incorporated a small amount of sour cream into this recipe to enhance its moisture. For an even richer dessert, consider serving it with a light drizzle of caramel sauce!

The Southern Pecan Pound Cake recipe is from The Country Cook, with a slice displayed on a small round white plate.

INGREDIENTS REQUIRED:
  • chopped pecans
  • all-purpose flour
  • baking powder
  • salted butter
  • sugar
  • eggs
  • vanilla extract
  • sour cream

HOW TO PREPARE SOUTHERN PECAN POUND CAKE:
Begin by preheating the oven to 325°F. Lightly coat a 12-cup Angel Food Cake Pan with nonstick cooking spray. I prefer using the nonstick spray that contains flour, as it is specifically designed for baking and makes it easy to release the cake once it has cooled. It is crucial to thoroughly spray the entire interior of the cake pan.

In a small bowl, mix 1 cup of chopped pecans with 1 tablespoon of flour. Stir well and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour with 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Set this mixture aside.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy. If you are using a stand mixer, remember to scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl occasionally.
Gradually incorporate the eggs, adding one at a time and mixing thoroughly after each addition. Next, blend in two teaspoons of vanilla extract.

After achieving a uniform mixture, gradually introduce the flour mixture. It is essential to add it slowly to ensure complete incorporation and to prevent it from scattering when the mixer is activated.

The flour mixture should be combined with the butter and sugar mixture. Subsequently, mix in the sour cream. Finally, by hand, fold in the floured pecans. The batter will have a thick consistency.

Transfer the batter into a prepared angel food cake pan. Using the back of a spoon, spread the batter as evenly as possible. Top the batter with 1/4 cup of chopped pecans and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sugar.

Bake for approximately 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for an hour before inverting it onto a serving dish.
