Vanilla Cream Cheese Pound Cake Recipe

Written by Published on Updated on October 5, 2022 in Uncategorized

Hello everyone,

The weather here is not the best because it is summer.  It’s cloudy, rainy, and just blah.  It feels more like winter than summer.   Since we are stuck inside due to the heavy rainstorms instead of sitting on the couch I picked myself up from sitting on the couch and went to the kitchen to bake.  Yep, I baked this Vanilla Cream Cheese Cake.  This cake is my sinful treat, ohhhh

The first time I came across this recipe was a while back and it was on a cooking show.  This was not a cooking show correction it was a baking show and it was Martha Stewarts.  I tweaked this recipe to my own tasting because I prefer using plant-based butter and cake flour instead of all-purpose flour.  And I also added Vanilla Bourbon paste because I just love it rather than using Vanilla extract.  I just want to emphasize that where I live I can find a plant-based alternative for butter, but if you can’t then you can use the butter you prefer.

I loved how creamy the texture of this batter was with the added cream cheese and I think you will absolutely enjoy baking and eating this cake. 🙂

Have a great weekend!!

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
