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.
