How to Make Betty's Cream Cheese Pound Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt or tube pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 ounces) yellow cake mix, 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (softened), 4 large eggs, and 1/2 cup milk.
  3. Beat on low speed for 1 minute, then increase speed to high and beat for 2 more minutes until the batter is smooth and thickened.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  5. Bake for 38-43 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
  7. Invert the cake onto a wire rack and let it cool completely.
  8. Once completely cool, sift powdered sugar over the top (optional).
