For some one that is not a cake maker your recipe doesn't give you enough information. After you beat butter and cream cheese do you add one egg at a time or all eggs at once? How long do you beat the eggs and sugar? What speed do you use on your mixture, that's a lot of ingredients to be guessing what you mean. I really like the sound of your recipe so if you would help me out I will appreciate it.

Hi Doris,

The eggs in a pound cake are not beaten separately so they are beaten in one at a time until each is absorbed by the batter. Most of the mixing is done before the flour is added. Although not traditional in a pound cake, if you prefer a lighter cake you could add a tablespoon of baking powder.

The recipe can always be cut in half, if you want, to make a smaller cake. Bundt pans come in all shapes and sizes!

Happy Baking,
