Love My Cream Cheese Pound Cake

 Mmm Mmm Good Cream Cheese Pound Cake!

There are a few versions of this delicious cake online.  Originally, I got the recipe from Adrienne of Real Life:  Live & Unscripted.  Since then I tweaked it a bit.  So here is my version of Cream Cheese Pound Cake.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups butter (3 sticks)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
3 cups white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon almond extract
6 eggs
3 cups of Swam Down cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

• Bring eggs, butter, and cream cheese to room temperature.
• Preheat oven to 345 degree F.  Grease one 10 inch bundt cake pan, sprinkle with flour, then sprinkle ground  cinnamon into the pan.
•  Cream together the butter, cream cheese, and sugar until light.
• Stir in the vanilla and the almond extracts.

• Add the flour (baking powder) and eggs alternately, beginning and ending with the flour.

• Pour batter into the prepared pan.

• Bake at 345 degree F for about an hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.  (place a pan of water beneath the cake to keep it moist and prevent burning - from my grandmother.)

• Add icing if you like or eat it plain.  Either way it's delicious.

Happy Baking!
