Strawberry Creamcheese Poundcake



*** DO NOT PREHEAT THE OVEN***

I REPEAT DO NOT PREHEAT THE OVEN!!!
You will not turn the oven on until after you have put the cake into
the oven!! Sounds weird but do it! lol.




(all ingredients should be room tempt)
3 sticks real butter (unsalted)
8 oz Strawberry cream cheese
6 large eggs
3 cups sugar, sifted
3 cups cake flour (can use all-purpose flour if you sift it really well)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
5 teaspoons vanilla, extract




1. In a large bowl add 3 sticks of butter and cream cheese in a large
bowl and mix well until combined.

2.  Add in three of the eggs one at a time. Mix each egg for 1 minute.
(so add one egg, mix for 1 minute, add the next etc)

3.   Add in 1 1/2 cups of the sugar and mix well.

4. Add in the rest of the sugar (should be 1 1/2 cups left) and mix well.

5.  Add in the other three eggs one at a time. Mixing well between each egg.

6.  Add in 3 teaspoons of Vanilla and 2 teaspoons of Lemon Extract and mix well.


7.  In a seperate bowl, Add the  1/2 teaspoon of baking powder to your 3 cups of cake flour and whisk until combined. (just make sure the baking powder is mixed well in the flour)

8.  Add in half of the flour/baking powder mix into the large bowl and mix until combined.

9.  Add in the other half of the flour and mix well.

10.  Spoon your batter into a greased and floured bundt cake (I use
Pam Cooking Spray with flour already in it)

11.  Do not fill the pan all the way up because it will rise.  If you
have a lot of batter left over (I did because my bundt pan is small) ,
you can add the rest of the mix into a regular cake pan. But if you
have a large bundt cake you probably wont need to do this anyways.

12.  Swirl a butter knife in the batter to release air. (just take the
knife and circle it around the pan so the air is released)

13.  Place into oven and turn the oven to 325.  (DO NOT PREHEAT THE OVEN before putting the cake in!)

14.  Bake time is for 1 1/2 hours but baking time can vary depending
on your oven.  Everyones oven cooks a little different. So I set my
timer up for 30 minute increments so I cancheck on it every 30 minutes.  When you stick a toothpick in it and its clean its done!  My cake took an hour and 5 minutes to be done. So
after the first hour, watch it like a hawk!! (Watch maybe every 10
minutes)
