A Best-Loved Classic
Who doesn’t love a good slice of cake – especially pound cake? This cream cheese pound cake recipe is fluffy but with a dense crumb with incredible flavor. We first made this dessert years ago for a baby shower and have been in love with it ever since. It’s not overly sweet – it’s soft, it’s moist and it’s one of those desserts that cannot be denied, especially with powdered sugar, whipped cream and fruit on top.

1½ cups unsalted butter – How to Soften Butter Quickly 8 ounces cream cheese, softened 3 cups sugar 6 large eggs – using room-temperature eggs will also help the batter mix up better. 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon almond extract 3 cups all-purpose flour – for a silkier texture try using 3 cups + 6 tablespoons of cake flour ⅛ teaspoon salt 2 cups water – placing water in the oven helps provide steam and moisture so the exposed crust doesn’t dry and crack.
