Why Cream Cheese Pound Cake?

The cake is made in a bundt pan, which makes the cake super pretty. I love the look of bundt cakes. The cake is deliciously dense thanks to all of the butter and cream cheese. The cream cheese and butter also make the cake super moist, which is essential when baking with in a bundt pan. The flavor is simple, but sometimes simple is best and this cake is the best. You can’t go wrong with this classic pound cake recipe! Before serving, we like to dust the bundt cake with confectioners’ sugar. The boys call the sugar snow and they love helping me with this part. The counter and floor always get a nice dusting of snow too, but that is all part of the fun:)

There is nothing worse than a cake that gets stuck in the pan.Make sure your butter, cream cheese, and eggs are all at room temperature.The cake takes 1 ½ hours to bake because it is a dense cake. You can make the cake the day before. I think it actually tastes better the second day. It freezes beautifully too.We like to serve this cream cheese pound cake with fresh berries and whipped cream.

Yes! This pound cake freezes beautifully. To freeze, let the cake cool completely and wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then foil. Store in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. To serve, unwrap and allow to thaw completely before slicing. Having a cake in the freezer is always a good idea.
