Cream Cheese Pound Cake





Just made this cake again last night..perfect taste and texture! Since it is a true butter cake it keeps really well and mellows at fairly cool room temp wrapped or in a cake keeper. I have used this recipe for years with the addition of almond extract! Make sure you beat each egg until fully combined and the texture of the cake will be fluffier than a normal pound cake.  If we have any left after two days it gets sliced and put into fridge or freezer. Mine cooks in preheated oven at 300 with two pyrex cups of water on same rack. Varies from hour and a half to hour and forty five minutes..use buttered floured 10 in tube pan..cook until firm lightly brown and cracked on top.

Cream Cheese Pound Cake

Yield: 1 (10-inch) cake

Ingredients:
  •     1 1/2 cups butter, softened at room temp
  •     1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened at room temp
  •     3 cups sugar
  •     6 large eggs
  •     3 cups all-purpose flour
  •     1/8 teaspoon salt
  •     1 tablespoon vanilla extract


Directions:

Beat butter and cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy (do not over beat); gradually add sugar, beating well.

Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating until combined. Crack eggs into a bowl first before adding to the mixture to make sure you avoid shells in the cake mix.

Sift 3 cups of flour. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to butter mixture, beating at low speed just until blended after each addition. Stir in vanilla from the huge 1 liter Mexican vanilla bottle my mother in law shared with me.

Pour batter into a greased and floured 10-inch Bundt pan.

Smooth the top of the cake or bottom of the cake (depending how you look at it) with a spatula to even it out.

Bake at 300° for 1 hour and 40 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 to 15 minutes; remove from pan, and let cool completely on wire rack. My pound cake had a crazy crusty layer on the bottom that I just peeled off. It was like candy, it was so sweet and cruchy but it wasn't pretty so I just threw it away.

Vanilla Coconut Rice Pudding

I usually end up making too much rice whenever I cook it. I usually make a simple snack of the leftovers by adding some salted butter, or throwing it into Monday night stir-fry when I use up any leftover veggies or whatnot. However, this time I decided to try something different. I wanted to make some rice pudding, but I had no cream or whole milk, and didn't feel like stirring over a pot forever. So I whipped up this simple coconut rice pudding. It uses leftover rice, 2% milk (though whole would be fantastic), and some fresh vanilla because, well, I love vanilla. If you have some coconut flakes, I would highly suggest you garnish with them. Simple and easy, it's a nice little way to use up that extra rice. Vanilla Coconut Rice Pudding Ingredients: 2 cups of whole or 2% milk 1 vanilla bean, insides scraped out 1 1/2 cups of coconut milk pinch of salt 1 1/2 cups of cold cooked rice 1/3 cup of sugar Directions: Combine all the ingredients together in a saucepan and simmer over me...

Creamy Peach Pie

This creamy peach pie is SO light and fluffy. It really is the perfect low-cal dessert for summer. You could even chop up fresh peaches and put them in the pie for extra-peachy flavor! Creamy Peach Pie Ingredients: 1/4 cup water 1 0.3-oz package of sugar free peach Jell-o* 2 6-oz containers of peach yogurt (I used Yoplait Light) 1 8-oz tub fat free cool whip, thawed 1 pre-made graham cracker crust Directions: In a microwave-safe measuring cup, heat water for 45-90 seconds or until boiling. Whisk in Jell-o until dissolved. In a large bowl, whisk together Jell-o mixture and yogurt. Fold in whipped topping. Carefully spread in crust. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or until set. Garnish as desired - I topped mine with frozen peaches and whipped cream. Store in refrigerator. *I have never made this recipe using any other kind of Jell-o except for sugar free. I am not sure if it would work with regular Jell-o because the size of the packages are so much different.
