Cream Cheese Pound Cake

Easy but don't let this happen to you....

Preheat 350* Bake 50 minutes

6 eggs
2 sticks butter, room temperature
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
8 oz cream cheese

Mix sugar and butter very well. Add cream cheese and then add one egg at a time and mix well. Add flour, baking powder, vanilla and mix well.

The recipe that I took this from did not mention what type of baking pan or loaf pan or dimensions to bake this in. So I used one (1) standard glass loaf pan. Just to see what would happen. Since there was more batter than should have been in the pan I had to cook this longer than the 50 minutes, hence the burnt bottom. Another lesson in...follow the directions.

Well the pictures speak load and clear. Although the kitchen smelled great from the over flowed batter that was cooking on the bottom of the oven I would suggest using two (2) loaf pans.

After the pound cake cooled off I trimmed off ALL of the brown crust and it was still good. So even with mishaps and burnt offerings a perfect bite can still be had.
