Bake Miss Dot's Pound Cake Recipe with simple steps, soft texture, and classic flavor perfect for home bakers.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 1 ½ cups unsalted butter room temperature
- 8 oz cream cheese room temperature
- 6 large eggs room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare The Oven And Pan
- Set the oven temperature to 325°F. Grease a bundt pan with butter, then dust lightly with flour. Shake out extra flour so the cake releases clean.
Step 2: Cream Butter And Cream Cheese
- Add butter and cream cheese to a large mixing bowl. Beat on medium speed until smooth and pale. This step sets the foundation for the cake’s texture.
Step 3: Add Sugar Gradually
- Pour in the sugar slowly while mixing. Let it fully mix before adding more. The mixture turns light yellow and fluffy.
Step 4: Add Eggs One At A Time
- Crack in one egg and beat well. Repeat until all eggs are mixed in. Scrape the bowl often so the batter stays even.
Step 5: Add Vanilla And Salt
- Pour in the vanilla extract and sprinkle in the salt. Mix just until combined.
Step 6: Add Flour Carefully
- Add flour in small portions. Mix on low speed. Stop once the flour disappears. Overmixing changes the final texture.
Step 7: Bake
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Smooth the top. Place it in the center of the oven. Bake for 70 to 80 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick comes out clean.
Step 8: Cool The Cake
- Let the cake sit in the pan for 15 minutes. Turn it onto a wire rack. Cool fully before slicing for clean cuts.
