Creamy Dreamy Cream Cheese Pound Cake

👩‍🍳 Steps

1️⃣ Preheat & Prep

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. Grease and flour a standard bundt pan, making sure to coat every crevice to prevent sticking.

2️⃣ Cream the Butter, Cream Cheese & Sugar

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, cream cheese, and sugar until the mixture is light, fluffy, and pale—about 3–5 minutes.

3️⃣ Add the Eggs & Flavorings

1. One at a time, beat in the eggs, making sure each one is fully incorporated before adding the next.
2. Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.

4️⃣ Mix in Dry Ingredients

1. Gradually add the flour and salt to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed just until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix—this helps keep the cake tender.

5️⃣ Bake the Cake

1. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
2. Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6️⃣ Cool & Serve

1. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
2. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar or glaze if desired, then slice and enjoy.
