Slap-Your-Momma Pound Cake

Slap-Your-Momma Pound Cake with Homemade Cream Cheese Icing

  • Author: amys recipes

Ingredients

Scale

For the Pound Cake:

  • 3 sticks (1 1/2 cups) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For the Cream Cheese Icing:

  • 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk (for desired consistency)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or tube pan. Shake out the excess flour.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add Eggs One at a Time: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Alternate Milk and Dry Mix: Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined. Stir in vanilla extract.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter into your prepared pan. Tap the pan on the counter to remove air bubbles. Bake for 75-85 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool: Let the cake cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes. Then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Make Icing: While the cake cools, beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, then vanilla. Add milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  9. Ice the Cake: Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle or spread the icing over the top. Let it set before serving your Slap-Your-Momma Pound Cake with Homemade Cream Cheese Icing.

Notes

Make sure not to overmix your batter once the flour goes in—doing so can make the cake tough. Mix until just combined.
