Cream cheese butter pound cake is a delightful dessert that combines the richness of butter and cream cheese with the moistness of a traditional pound cake. Here’s a simple recipe to try:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, at room temperature
• 3 cups granulated sugar
• 6 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan or bundt pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, cream cheese, and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the flour and salt to the creamed mixture, beating on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once cooled, you can dust the top with powdered sugar or serve it as is.
