LEMON CREAM CHEESE POUND CAKE FROM SCRATCH

Directions :

– Step 1: You need to prepare the oven first, turn its temp. to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Coat a baking pan with nonstick cooking spray or coat it with Crisco and sprinkle it with flour before baking. This recipe will provide enough batter to cover two loaf pans or one Bundt pan.

– Step 2: Secondly, you need to cream the butter with white sugar together until light and fluffy. When I make my butter and sugar, I prefer to beat them until they are light and fluffy. It just aids in the baking of this cake, in my opinion.

– Step 3: Stir in the softened cream cheese, allowing the cream cheese to cream with the butter and sugar mixture until well incorporated.

– Step 4: It is important that you add the eggs one at a time. Because the eggs will alter the consistency of the mixture very quickly, add them one at a time and fully integrate them into the mixture before adding additional eggs.

– Step 5:To finish, add vanilla, salt, lemon juice, and zest (if using), and stir well.

– Step 6: Add the all-purpose flour towards the end. If you’re using a hand mixer, it’s better to add the flour a bit at a time to avoid overmixing. I’ve been pampered with my Bosch mixer, which is able to handle everything at once.

– Step 7: Pour the batter into a Bundt pan. Do not forget to spray or Crisco grease your pans before you begin baking and then sprinkle with flour.

– Step 8: Bake for 60 minutes at 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Check the doneness of the pound cake by putting a toothpick into the middle of the cake.

– Step 9: Remove the cake from the pan and set it aside to cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Place a plate on top of the pan and carefully turn the cake out onto the platter.
