Lemon Cream Cheese Pound Cake

Feast your eyes on this beautiful cake that’s both moist and flavorful! The tangy lemon and creamy texture make it a standout dessert.

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups of unsalted butter (softened)
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
3 cups of granulated sugar
6 large eggs
3 cups of all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
Zest of 2 lemons
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 10-inch bundt pan.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and cream cheese until it’s light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Gradually add the granulated sugar, continuing to mix until fluffy.
Add in the eggs one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next one.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the fresh lemon juice, mixing just until combined.
Stir in the lemon zest and vanilla extract for that extra burst of flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 70-80 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cool, you can serve it as is or drizzle with a simple lemon glaze made of powdered sugar and lemon juice for an added touch!

Enjoy each slice of this Lemon Cream Cheese Pound Cake, perfect for any gathering or a lovely afternoon tea. It’s a delightful combination of flavors and textures that will leave everyone asking for seconds!
