Directions
Southern Living’s Cream Cheese Pound Cake,From the Big Book of Christmas Baking, courtesy MrZ, who describes it as being both “moist and delicious”. Use real butter in this recipe. It will make a difference.,Dont see a Comment button (just the one for Questions), but here goes! This has been MY favorite go-to pound cake recipe since I first found it in a Southern Living CAKES cookbook over 30 years ago, a book that I owned, lost, and thanks to the joy and beauty of estate sales, was delighted to find last summer! My niece asked me a coupla wks ago to bake her a pound cake like her granny used to bake when she was a li’l girl. Now I’m not sure, but I’ve had the pound cakes granny’nem used to bake, but I’ve never baked one. 7-up pound cakes, yes..canned soda cakes, yes. But again..THIS is my favorite..and guess what..THIS is the one she will get. IMHO, it can hold its own against those cakes (sorry granny). Besides, I love that crunchy but tender crumb. No glaze/icing, no #10 sugar dusting, no drizzle (her requests…cuz she knows her auntie!) However, I just bought a new decorative Nordic Ware BUNDT cake pan (my drug of choice…) Will post a pic later.,Can this recipe be cooked in a 9×13 baking dish? If so how would that effect the cooking time,temp ect.
