A rich, moist, and comforting cream cheese pound cake made with just six pantry-friendly ingredients. Perfect for holidays, potlucks, or a cozy afternoon treat.

Ingredients

Scale

1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) butter, softened

1 (8-ounce) block of Philadelphia cream cheese, softened

3 cups white sugar

6 large eggs

3 cups all-purpose flour (or Swans Down cake flour for a finer crumb)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and cream cheese together until smooth.
  3. Gradually beat in the sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs two at a time, mixing well after each pair.
  5. Add the flour all at once and stir until just combined.
  6. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes, checking for doneness at 1 hour. A toothpick should come out clean.
  9. Let it cool in the pan before removing. Slice and serve!

Notes

  • For an extra-moist texture, make sure all your ingredients are at room temp.
  • Try it with Swans Down cake flour if you want a lighter crumb.
  • Let the cake sit overnight before cutting—the flavor deepens, and the crust firms up nicely.
  • Freezes beautifully: wrap slices in parchment and foil, then stash in the freezer.
  • Sprinkle with powdered sugar or serve with whipped cream and fruit if you’re feeling fancy.
