Indulge in this rich and moist pound cake topped with a creamy glaze—perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients:
For the Pound Cake:
12 tablespoons butter, plus 2 tablespoons (for greasing the pan)
1 cup sugar
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus 1 tablespoon (for greasing the pan)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
For the Cream Cheese Glaze:
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup evaporated milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions:
Prepare the Pan:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with the 2 tablespoons of butter and dust with the 1 tablespoon of flour, tapping out the excess.
Make the Pound Cake:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the 12 tablespoons of butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and eggs, mixing until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Glaze:
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract, mixing until the glaze is smooth and pourable.
Glaze the Cake:
Once the pound cake has cooled completely, drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the top. Allow the glaze to set before slicing.
Serve:
Enjoy your Vanilla Buttermilk Pound Cake with Cream Cheese Glaze as a delightful dessert or a sweet treat with your coffee!
