Ingredients
For the Pound Cake:
🧈 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
🍚 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
🥚 4 large eggs, room temperature
🍞 3 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
🥄 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
🧂 1/2 teaspoon salt
🥛 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
🍦 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
For the Cream Cheese Glaze:
🧀 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
🍬 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
🥄 2 tablespoons milk (add more for desired consistency)
🍦 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or line with baking spray.
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed to avoid overmixing.
- Stir in the vanilla extract until the batter is smooth.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the Cake: Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
For the Cream Cheese Glaze:
5. Make the Cream Cheese Glaze: Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, followed by the milk and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and pourable. Add more milk if needed.
6. Glaze the Cake: Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the top, letting it drip down the sides.
