Stop what you are doing and add this Cream Cheese Pound Cake to your Thanksgiving menu! It is SO good! I love a good pound cake and this Cream Cheese Pound Cake is one of the best I've made. I've had this recipe bookmarked for years and finally got around to trying it. I am kicking myself for waiting so long to make this!!
I love to bake my pound cakes in a tube pan. I bought mine at Amazon (http://#/2ecEXbI). It works great for all of the pound cakes on the blog. You can also use a bundt pan. Just make sure you have at least an inch left in the pan after you fill it with batter so the cake can rise.
This Cream Cheese Pound Cake has only a few simple ingredients and it tastes great. We served the cake with some ice cream and caramel sauce. SO good! It would be a great dessert for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. It also makes a great home made holiday gift!
