How to Make Almond Cream Cheese Pound Cake
- Bring 8 ounces of cream cheese to room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients: room temperature cream cheese, 2 cups granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon almond extract, 4 large eggs, 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup milk.
- Mix with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute, until just combined.
- Increase mixer speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes, until the batter is smooth and thick.
- Pour batter into the prepared tube pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake springs back when lightly touched.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve your Almond Cream Cheese Pound Cake alone or with fresh berries and sweetened whipped cream.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
