Provided by Sommer Collier

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, (softened (3 sticks))
8 ounces cream cheese, (softened)
3 cups granulated sugar, (divided)
6 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups all-purpose flour ((stir in bag, spoon in cup, level))

Steps:

  • Set out the butter, eggs, and cream cheese to come to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Move one oven rack to the center of the oven and remove any racks above it.
  • Pull out a standard 12-cup capacity bundt pan. Grease the bundt pan with extra butter or shortening, then scoop 1/4 cup sugar into the pan and shake it around until the fat is well coated in sugar. Dump out any excess sugar. Set aside.
  • Place the softened butter and cream cheese in the bowl on an electric. Beat on high until the mixture is totally smooth. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula, then add the remaining 2 3/4 cups sugar. Beat on high again for 3-5 minutes to cream the ingredients until very light and fluffy. Scrape the bowl again.
  • Turn the mixer on low and beat in the eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Then slowly add the flour a little at a time, until fully combined. Once the batter is smooth, turn off the mixer, as to not overmix the batter.
  • Scoop the batter into the prepared pan. Bake on the center rack for 80-90 minutes. After 80 minutes, test the cake by inserting a toothpick deep into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, take the pound cake out of the oven.
  • Let the cream cheese pound cake rest in the pan for 15 minutes. Then carefully flip the cake onto a platter or baking rack.

TROPICAL BREEZE CREAM CHEESE POUND CAKE



Tropical breeze cream cheese pound cake image

The day before Easter 2012 I am in the process of making an Italian rice cake (recipe to come later) and I burn the rice! It was too late to start again, so I had a dilemma, I had all the ingredients for the rice cake except the time to make it. I was sitting trying to figure out what I was going to take to my Mom's for dinner...

Categories     Fruit Desserts

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 eggs
2 stick butter, unsalted, softened
2 c all purpose flour
1 1/2 c sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
8 oz cream cheese
1/4 c all purpose flour
1 c dried apricots, chopped fine (measure after chopping)
1 c hazelnuts, chopped
1 medium jar apricot spreadable fruit (i like smuckers brand)
1/2 c coconut, flaked (i like angel flake)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheadt oven to 350 degrees and place rack in center of oven. Grease and flour a bundt cake pan.
  • 2. In a food processor fit with a chopping blade put the 1/4 cup flour and the whole dried apricots. Pulse to chop continuing until the apricots are finely chopped but not a paste. If the apricots 'gum-up' add just a touch more flour to coat the pieces (doing this helps the fruit to stay suspended in the batter during baking). Set Aside
  • 3. In a large mixing bowl, Mix sugar and butter completely until it is blended well and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Add the flour, Vanilla extract & baking powder and mix together well. The batter should be thick and cream.
  • 4. Using a spatula, gently fold into the batter the chopped apricots and chopped nuts. Do not over mix; when making a pound cake you want it to be dense without a lot of air, if you mix too much you incorporate too much air into the batter.
  • 5. spoon the Thick batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing and leveling. Tap the pan a couple times on a counter top to settle the batter.
  • 6. Bake in a 350 degree pre-heated oven for 50 to 55 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in center comes out clean.
  • 7. Remove cake from oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • 8. Invert cake onto wire rack and while the cake is still hot, spread the cake with about 1/4 to 1/2 of the jar of Apricot spreadable fruit (put the opened jar in the refrigerator for the next day) and then leave the cake to cool completely. When completely cooled cover lightly and allow to sit overnight. Doing this allows the spreadable fruit to be absorbed into the cake.
  • 9. In the morning on the day of serving, spread the cake once again with the remaining 1/2 jar of apricot spreadable fruit.
  • 10. Spinkle the cake with a good covering of sweetened flaked coconut.
  • 11. Cover until serving. Cut into 1/2 or 1 inch wide pieces and serve with a good cup of coffee or tea.

TROPICAL POUND CAKE

Pomegranate seeds add a nice touch to the tropical fruit topping. To minimize the mess of seeding a pomegranate, follow these simple instructions. First, cut off the crown and score the fruit into quarters. Soak the fruit in a large bowl of cold water for 5 minutes. Holding the fruit underwater, break the scored sections apart with your fingers. Then separate the seed clusters from the skin and membranes. Discard the skin and the membranes; dry the seeds on paper towels.
