How to Make Abby S Cream Cheese Pound Cake
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, and 8 ounces cream cheese until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 90-105 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve with fresh strawberries and whipped cream, if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
