WHAT IS A POUND CAKE?

 
According to wikipedia.org, a pound cake is made with a pound of each of flour, butter, eggs, and sugar.
 
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).

Cream Cheese, Unsalted Butter, Granulated Sugar, Pure Vanilla Extract

 

PLUS, 4 eggs and 1/2 cup water. 

4 eggs, 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.

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.

Ingredients

  • Baking Spray with flour to grease Bundt pan Or use vegetable oil.
  • 1 8-ounce package cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 box (15.25 ounces) triple chocolate fudge cake mix Or use chocolate cake mix.
  • 1 can (20 ounces) cherry pie filling Use for garnish (optional).
  • powdered sugar Use for garnish (optional).

Instructions

  • Use a folded paper towel soaked in vegetable oil to thoroughly grease a standard-sized bundt pan. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • In large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. With mixer on low speed, mix together until well combined (about 1 minute). Mixture will be thin.
  • Add unsalted/melted butter, water and cake mix. With mixer on low speed, mix together just until combined (about 2 minutes). Batter will be thick and creamy. Set aside.
  • Spoon batter into prepared Bundt pan. Smooth top with back of spoon. Batter will not fill pan. Allows room for cake to rise.
  • Bake on 40-45 minutes OR until top springs back when lightly pressed. Or press a knife in center all the way down touching bottom. If it comes out clean, cake is done. A toothpick is too short. Only pierces top.
  • Cool 30 minutes before turning out onto a large plate. Delicious warm.
  • MUCH BETTER after 24 hours in fridge. Place cooled cake in a container with a tight lid. Place in fridge (not freezer). Enjoy cold!
  • Pour cherry pie filling into a small bowl. Place in center of cake before serving. Makes a lovely presentation. Top individual servings with a small scoop for those who prefer it.
  • Before serving, sprinkle top of cake with powdered sugar (optional).
