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

Serve with strawberries + whipped cream
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
Fridge: 1 week
Freezer: Up to 3 months (wrap well)

Cinnamon
Nutmeg
Ginger

Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.

Do NOT overmix—stop as soon as the flour disappears.
Fold in any add-ins (nuts, chocolate chips, etc.) with a rubber spatula.

Spoon the thick batter into your prepared Bundt pan.
Smooth the top with a spatula.
Tap the pan lightly on the counter to remove air bubbles.

The cake is done when:

- The top springs back lightly when touched.
If using a dark Bundt pan, check at the 60-minute mark.

9. Cool Completely

Cool the cake in the pan for 15 minutes.
Then invert onto a wire rack and let cool fully for at least 1 hour before glazing or slicing.

✨ Glaze Options

1. Maple Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar

1–2 tablespoons milk or cream
½ tsp vanilla
Whisk until pourable. Drizzle over cooled cake.

Black Walnut Pound Cake

Black Walnut Pound Cake

Here is a recipe that every traditional Southern cook should include in her repertoire. 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.
