How to Make The Most Ultimate Buttery Cream Cheese Pound Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8x4-inch loaf pans or a 4-quart tube pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 8 ounces cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  3. Gradually add 2 cups granulated sugar, beating until light and fluffy (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Add 4 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon salt.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  8. Pour batter evenly into the prepared pan(s).
  9. Gently tap the pans on the counter to remove any large air bubbles.
  10. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
