Earlier I have used cream cheese as toppings for my cake but this was the first time I baked a cake using it. Guess what!

Cream Cheese Pound Cake Ingredients

You don’t need too many ingredients to prepare this cream cheese pound cake. Here are the list of ingredients required to prepare the cake.

Cream Cheese: One of the primary ingredient of the cake. Addition of cream cheese enhances the flavor and the texture of the cake. It makes the pound cake extremely moist and dense.

Butter/Vegetable oil: I have used the combination of butter and vegetable oil in this cake.

All purpose flour: Another key ingredient of the cake. All purpose flour gives fluffy texture to the cake. I would not recommend to replace it with whole wheat flour.

Sugar: I have used granulated sugar to sweeten the cake. You can also use castor sugar. In that case, the measurement might differ.

Eggs: I have used four standard size eggs to bake this cake. I can’t offer an egg substitute that will produce the same effect because a pound cake without eggs is no longer a pound cake.

Others: Apart from the above listed ingredients, I have used baking powder, salt, baking soda, and vanilla essence to prepare this delicious Cream Cheese Pound Cake.

How long can I store this cake?

If you store the cake slices in an air-tight container, it will stay fresh for up to 4 days at room temperature. However, homemade cakes have shorter shelf-life during hot summer and monsoon time. If you store the cake slices in the refrigerator, they have longer shelf-life.

These cakes can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. Before serving, simply reheat in a toaster oven or microwave. To keep the cakes fresh, wrap them in plastic wrap as well as aluminum foil.
