This Cream Cheese Pound Cake is a tender, moist, and flavorful dessert that's a new spin on traditional pound cake. Plus, it’s super simple to make! Top it off with whipped cream and fresh berries or enjoy plain!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and generously grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan. Tap out any excess flour. You may alternatively use a pan spray that already has flour in it.
Use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a hand mixer to cream softened 1 ½ cups unsalted butter, and 8 oz cream cheese, together. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add 3 cups granulated sugar and beat until well combined and fluffy for about 1 minute.
Add the whole 6 large eggs, 3 egg yolks, 1 ½ tablespoons vanilla extract, and 1 ½ teaspoon salt. Mix until combined, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
Add 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour and mix until combined, again scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 65-70 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out mostly clean, with just a few moist crumbs stuck to it.
