the BEST Cream Cheese Pound Cake Recipe!

What makes this pound cake the BEST?  It's because I made up the recipe all by myself!  And guess what?  It's absolutely plate lickin' GOOD!

THE INGREDIENTS

3 cups flour

3 cups sugar

8 oz cream cheese - room temperature

3 sticks of butter - room temperature

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

6 eggs - room temperature

1 tablespoon vanilla

1 teaspoon almond extract

1/2 cup milk - room temperature

HOW TO MAKE IT

1. Preheat your oven to 350˚F.  Use Pam baking spray to prepare a 10-inch tube pan.

2.  Sift together flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder into a large bowl.

3.  In another large bowl beat the butter and cream cheese until smooth.  

4.  Add the sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition.  Continue beating on medium-high speed until the batter is light and fluffy [this will take about 2-5 minutes]

5.  Adding the eggs one at a time, mix by hand into the batter until just incorporated.

6.  Mix in the milk, vanilla and almond extracts.

7.  Stir in the flour mixture, one cup at a time until just incorporated into the batter.

8.  Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes [or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle].

9.  Remove the cake from the oven and let cool in the pan for 20 minutes.  Completely remove the cake from the pan and allow to cool completely before serving.
