LEMON CREAM CHEESE POUND CAKE RECIPE

Apr.posted by Paula 55 Comments

Lemon Cream Cheese Pound Cake Recipe is tender and moist. It’s sweet and simple with a buttery flavoring that melts in your mouth!

This is my Mom’s cake recipe. She always either made this or a Sour Cream Pound Cake. For years, I thought it was the only Pound Cake recipe.

Lemon Cream Cheese Pound Cake Recipe is tender and moist. It's sweet and simple with a buttery flavoring that melts in your mouth!

Old-fashioned desserts seem to be making a resurgence. My Pound Cake series has been very popular (especially my Cream Cheese Pound Cake recipe) as well as other old-fashioned desserts that I’ve shared. My Old-fashioned Butter Roll, Old-fashioned Sugar Pie, and Old-fashioned Rice Pudding are some of the most popular recipes on callmepmc.com.

Lemon Cream Cheese Pound Cake Recipe

I’ve started a series on callmepmc.com of making, testing, and reviewing Pound Cake recipes. You can read all the posts and get the recipes here.

Lemon Cream Cheese Pound Cake Recipe has a very silky texture. A small crumbs that are even smoother than the Whipping Cream Pound Cake. The outside of this pound cake does not have a crispy texture like the Whipping Cream Pound Cake. However, it’s just as flavorful.

It’s a very easy pound cake to make. Even though I used a generous one tablespoon lemon extract in my Cream Cheese Pound Cake it does not have a lemon flavor. The one and a half cups of butter give it a butter flavoring instead. Also, as I found in this cookie recipe that uses cream cheese, the cream cheese actually compliments and intensifies the butter flavor. That’s a good thing!

More Tips

If you truly want a lemon flavor, I suggest adding two tablespoon lemon extract as well as 2 tablespoon lemon zest to the recipe listed below. If you want a classic vanilla/buttery tasting pound cake make the recipe exactly as I have listed below. It is very good and I highly recommend this recipe.

This Cream Cheese Pound Cake Recipe yields a moist cake that’s dense and slightly sweet. If you crave more sweetness, glaze the cake with a mixture of confectioners’ sugar, milk, and flavoring.

    I am a seasoned baker and have lived at 7000 feet for over 20 years. I have never experienced a cake that flopped like this one! There are very few modifications for this altitude as… a bit less sugar. Don’t try this cake at high altitude!

    I tried this recipe and everyone said it was the best pound cake they have ever had! I did add a little more lemon extract to it as I LOVE lemon. I am not much of a baker but this was super easy to make!

      No, the eggs will make the cake rise.

    My Grandmother baked cakes and I do too. This is a perfect replica of her recipe as each one is slightly different. It’s the butter for me. It’s the tablespoon of flavoring too. I substituted vanilla for my family. Make sure you sift the flour and everything is room temperature. Now, this version yields a lot of mixture so there was enough a 6 or so cupcakes. I will add confection sugar icing to make the dessert a hit! Thank you for sharing. Southern baker, Ingrid

    Hi Paula,
    I’ve made many of your pound cakes and love the taste and texture of all of them but I keep having the top crumble off. Am I over baking? They’re never dry and don’t seem to be over baked but I’m stumped.

      Hi Laurie, I’ve actually been researching this. It happens to mine occasionally and I *think* I do the same thing every time.

    The recipe says coat the pan with shortening and sugar. Is the sugar a typo? I have never heard of using sugar to coat a pan.

      I use granulated sugar to coat the pan. It doesn’t leave white areas as flour does.

    What can you use as a substitute for the lemon extract?
