WHAT IS A POUND CAKE?
Technically, Chocolate Cream Cheese Pound Cake is not a real pound cake. The weight (close to a pound) is the inspiration for the name “pound cake.”
THE CAKE MIX
One box (15.25) ounces of triple chocolate fudge cake mix (pictured) or use a box of regular chocolate cake mix.
ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS
One package (8 ounces) cream cheese, 1 stick unsalted butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar and pure vanilla extract (2 teaspoons).
Continued below.
PLUS, 4 eggs and 1/2 cup water.
Generously grease Bundt pan with Baker’s Joy (pictured).
Vegetable oil is a good alternative.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
PREPARE THE BATTER
In large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. With mixer on low speed, mix together until well combined.
Mixture will be thin.
TEST FOR DONENESS
Test for doneness by gently pressing a knife (I used plastic) or bamboo skewer in center all the way to bottom. If it comes out clean, cake is done.
A toothpick is too short because it only pierces the top.
This Chocolate Cream Cheese Pound Cake is a variation of my Cream Cheese Pound Cake (made with a yellow cake mix).
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Before serving, sprinkle pound cake (half or whole) with powdered sugar.
Arrange slices around a small bowl of cherry fruit (in juice).
ENJOY!
