Time 1h45m

Yield Makes two 9-inch loaves

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pans
3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
2 cups sugar
6 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter two standard 9-by 5-inch loaf pans. Line with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on long sides.
  • Sift flour and salt into a medium bowl. In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter and cream cheese on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. With mixer running, gradually add sugar, then increase speed to high and beat until light and airy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Gradually add flour mixture, beating just until combined.
  • Divide batter between prepared pans. Using a small offset spatula, slightly mound batter in center of each pan to encourage rising. Bake until tops are golden brown and testers inserted into centers come out clean, 70 to 85 minutes. Transfer pans to a wire rack and let cool 20 minutes, then invert cakes onto rack and let cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the cake batter to come together smoothly and evenly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making the cake lighter and more tender.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Gradually add the flour and baking powder to the batter, alternating with the milk. This will help to prevent the batter from becoming too thick or lumpy.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This Crusty Cream Cheese Pound Cake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its rich, creamy flavor and tender crumb, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
