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 Lemon Cream Cheese Pound 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!

Lemon Cream Cheese Pound Cake Recipe

I’m 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’s even smoother than the Whipping Cream Pound Cake. The outside of this pound cake does not have the crispy texture like the Whipping Cream Pound Cake. However, it’s just a 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 gives 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!

Lemon Cream Cheese Pound Cake Recipe 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 Lemon Cream Cheese Pound Cake 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.

  • 3 cups granulated white sugar
  • 3 cups all purpose flour

    May I add lemon pudding mix to the cake to add a more lemony flavor? I don’t have fresh lemons.

    This is the easiest lb cake I’ve made…I’ve made about 5 before…having room temp ingredients did make a difference and the batter never got so thick that the mixer got stuck like in the past…its still cooling can’t wait to taste it with homemade whipped cream
