Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This will help ensure that your pound cake is moist and flavorful. Look for cream cheese that is fresh and smooth, and use real vanilla extract instead of imitation.
- Cream the butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, which will make your pound cake light and airy.
- Gradually add the sugar. This will help prevent the sugar from crystallizing and making your pound cake grainy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
- Add the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk. This will help ensure that the batter is evenly mixed.
- Stir in the poppy seeds. Poppy seeds add a lovely crunch and flavor to this pound cake.
- Bake the pound cake in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
- Let the pound cake cool completely before glazing. This will help prevent the glaze from becoming too runny.
