I just wanted to say that I just baked the cream cheese pound cake that i found here on CC. This may be the yummiest cake I've ever had. It is dense, moist, and seems sturdy enough to care and use for 3D cakes. I'm usually a cake mix girl, just because of pure laziness, but when I saw this recipe, I just had to try it....so glad I did. Now, I think I'll try pairing it with some lemon cream filling, or some raspberry filling....YUMMY! This will definately be flavor I suggest to any of my clients!

This sounds delicious. I can't believe I'd never noticed it before. I have three cakes coming up between now and Sunday. This sounds like the ticket! Can you bake it in regular round pans or does it really have to be in an angel food pan?

It sound so yummy, I'm going to try it for my next cake! Thanks for bringing it to our attention. Has anyone tried baking it in regular round cake pans? How about using it for a stacked cake or a carved cake?

Does it have to be baked in a tube pan?

I also am curious as to whether or not you can bake in a round/square pan.... Could this recipe be doubled?????

I tried this recipe also and absolutely loved it. In fact--it IS my favorite cake. I also added a teaspoon of almond extract. It's usually baked in a bundt pan but you can use a round pan (if you have the 3 inch deep ones--even better.) You can also drizzle any flavor "simple sirup" over it (I used brandy in my simple sirup)--but it tastes terrific just plain!

Ok, so I just printed it out and going to make it for my father's day cake I'm making paired with some fruit filling. But (and this maybe a stupid question icon_confused.gif ) but is it a teaspoon of vanilla or tblsp? And same for the salt? I'm assuming teaspoon, right?

This does sound delicious!

Tobita, did you actually use another pan outside of the tube pan?

MrsAB--yes, I used my 3" deep pan which is used often for pound cakes.
I think this mix is enough for the 10 inch round pan. (Doesn't hurt to try it in a 2" deep pan.)
Someone here mentioned that Buddy from Cake Boss also uses pound cake for carving. I saw on one of the episodes that he added cream cheese to make his pound cake batter and his cakes look so delicious!
There are many similar recipes for cream cheese pound cake. I've also made one (which I don't remember where I got it from) that uses
1 cup unsalted butter
8 oz. cream cheese
1/8 tsp. salt
2 cups sugar
2 cups sifted all purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla and/or almond extract
4 large eggs (instead of 6 that it called for)
You follow the same procedure for mixing and baking but it gives you a softer cake.
I think this one would be fine for regular round cake pans.

With as many rave reviews as this has gotten, I only wish I had come up with the recipe, instead of just posting it! I also made this cake for Father's Day and paired it with Lemon BC. I love the combo of cream cheese and lemon! That reminds me, I think I'll go finish off that last piece!

Okay I want to try the cake - but I can't see any leavening agent of any kind in the recipe. Do you guys add baking powder or is it a magical cake? icon_lol.gif

Sif, quite a few "pound cake" recipes don't use a leavening agent in them.. I personally prefer with at least like .5t of baking powder for a cake like this, but I haven't ever made this particular recipe

I made this cake over the weekend and you are right, it is delicious! It is so moist and dense. Very flavourful and rises up nicely! I sliced it and served with fresh whipped cream and sliced strawberries. Loved it! Thanks for posting the link!
