Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure even mixing.
Add the vanilla extract and the softened cream cheese to the butter and sugar mixture. Continue to beat until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. This helps to incorporate more air into the batter, which will give your pound cakes a lighter texture.
In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose white wheat flour and baking powder. Stir to ensure the baking powder is evenly distributed.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture of the cake.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure even baking.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar for a finishing touch.
Slice and serve your Vanilla & Cream Cheese Pound Cake on its own or with a side of fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting, especially the cream cheese, to achieve a smoother batter.
- Do not overmix the batter; mix just until the ingredients are combined to avoid a dense cake.
- Grease and flour your baking pan thoroughly to ensure the cake doesn't stick.
- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt to the batter.
- Use a toothpick to check for doneness; insert it into the center of the cake, and if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
