Get Ready To Make This Sweet Old Fashioned Pound Cake

There’s nothing that says old fashioned goodness like a classic Cream Cheese Pound Cake. This sweet treat is light, moist and loaded with vanilla flavor. It’s the perfect dessert for any occasion.

Here’s what you’ll need for this pound cake:

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 8oz cream cheese, softened
• 3 cups granulated sugar

Preheat oven to 300°F. Grease a 10″ Bundt or tube pan.

Beat the butter, cream cheese and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each.

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet, mixing just until combined. Stir in vanilla.
