Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Prep loaf pan with nonstick baking spray.
- Add the cake mix, cream cheese, eggs, oil, white sugar, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl.
- Use an electric mixer set on low, increasing to high speed for 2 minutes. The batter will be smooth and fluffy but thick.
- Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan. (The remaining batter could be used for a second loaf or for cupcakes.)
- Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes. Rotate the loaf pan in the oven after 20 minutes.
- At the 40 minute mark check to see if the pound cake is done. (Insert a toothpick in the center of the loaf and if it comes out clean then the pound cake is done.)
- When the pound cake is done remove it from the oven.
- Set it aside to cool in the pan for 45 minutes. (Set the loaf pan on a wire rack to cool.)
- Flip the pound cake onto a wire rack then flip it again so the top of the loaf is on top. Allow it to cool before serving.
Garnish:
- Sprinkle powdered sugar on top.
- Slice to serve.
- Let cool for at least 45 minutes in pan on wire rack then invert onto wire rack and turn back upright.
- Let cool completely and serve. Enjoy!
