Welcome to my first Cake Baking Blog Hop!
The food blog community always comes up with a zillion ways to connect blogs, share content and spread more joy along the way. Bloghop is a cool new tool to share content and spread the love.
When Junia emailed last week asking a group of bakers if we’d be interested in posting a recipe together and linking up with each others’ blog to create a one-of-a-kind cake network, we agreed instantly.
The idea is simple, 8 of us are not only posting 8 super delicious cake recipes for you but we are also welcoming you to share with us your favorite cake recipes during the month of August.
What I have for you today is an absolute favorite, Cream Cheese Cinnamon Pound Cake. What I most enjoy most about this cake is the baking part. The whole kitchen fills up with the scent of cinnamon. This deliciously dense pound cake has a rich and buttery flavor which makes this perfect for just about any time of the day, month, or year.
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- ½ package (113 grams) cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1½ cups sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 11/2 cups all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly butter a 6-cup bundt pan.
- In a medium bowl, sift flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt; set aside.
- In a large bowl, butter and cream cheese beat with a mixer on medium speed until smooth and light in color.
- Add the sugar, increase the speed to high, and beat until light and airy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
- Add the vanilla, then the flour mixture. Beat just until incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and shake lightly to even out the top. Bake until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean, 60 to 70 minutes.
- Place the pan on a cake rack and cool for 20 minutes, then remove the cake from the pan and let it cool completely. Serve at room temperature.
- Dust with powdered sugar and serve with a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
