VANILLA CREAM CHEESE POUND CAKE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Spray two 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2-inch metal loaf pans with the baking spray and sprinkle the insides of the pans with the demerara sugar, tilting the pans to cover evenly.
- Place the butter, cream cheese, and granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium speed for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes, until light and creamy. Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula to be sure it's well mixed. With the mixer on low, add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well and scraping down the bowl before adding the next egg. Mix in the vanilla extract and vanilla seeds.
- Combine the cake flour and salt in a medium bowl. With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, scraping down the bowl and beater with a rubber spatula. Mix the batter with the spatula to be sure it's well mixed. Divide the batter evenly between the two loaf pans, smooth the tops, and bake in the center of the oven for 60 to 70 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 30 minutes, then carefully turn them out and cool completely on a baking rack.

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a 900g loaf tin with parchment paper (mine was 19cm x 9cm x 6cm). Put all of the ingredients except those for the icing into a large bowl and beat together, either using an electric hand whisk or a wooden spoon until smooth and combined. Pour the mix into the loaf tin and spread evenly with the back of spoon. Bake for 40 - 45 mins.
- Once out of the oven, leave to cool and make the icing. Combine the icing sugar and vanilla paste with three tbsp of water - you may need more but add it gradually to get a thick icing. Spread it over the top of the cake; it's fine if it drips down the edges. Allow to set and then slice.

Steps:
- Boil apple cider in large skillet until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 18 minutes. Add cream; boil until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Transfer to bowl. Whisk in butter and both extracts. Cool slightly, then chill until cold, at least 1 hour. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.)
- Place 1 slice of cake on each plate. Top each with ice cream, sauce and nuts.
Tips:
- Use the right ingredients: Make sure to use high-quality ingredients for the best results. Fresh butter, eggs, and flour will make a big difference in the taste of your pound cake.
- Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake. Use an electric mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time: Beat in each egg until it is fully incorporated before adding the next one. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Gradually add the flour: Add the flour in 3 additions, alternating with the buttermilk. This will help to prevent the batter from becoming too thick or lumpy.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: The baking time will vary depending on the size of your baking pan. For a 9x13 inch pan, bake for 45-50 minutes. For a bundt pan, bake for 50-55 minutes.
- Serve the cake warm or at room temperature: Pound cake is delicious served warm with vanilla ice cream or apple cider sauce. It can also be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Pound cake is a classic dessert that is sure to please everyone. It is a dense and moist cake with a rich flavor. The addition of vanilla ice cream and apple cider sauce makes it even more delicious.
