Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour sifted
  • 1 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the Topping
  • 1 cup powdered sugar for dusting
  • 1 tablespoon milk optional, for glaze

Method
 

Prepare the Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve
  1. Once baked, remove the pound cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  2. Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
  3. If desired, mix the powdered sugar with milk to create a glaze and drizzle over the cooled cake before serving.
