Almond Cream Cheese Pound Cake

Richard, this is a wonderful cake! DH requested a pound cake for Easter dessert, so I went looking. I love the Cake Mix Dr, and have prepared many of her recipes, but not this one. I already knew it would be delicious. And can we say easy? Sheesh, you just throw everything in the bowl at once, and mix. The flavor is amazingly good, and the family loved it. I served it with a mix of blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and strawberries that I mixed with some sugar and almond extract, and some fresh whipped cream. Heavenly! I baked mine at 350° for just a bit less than 45 minutes, because my tube pan is dark nonstick, and I didn't want the edges of the cake to burn. It was perfectly done. Thanks for posting, Richard!

This cake is absolutely the most delicious tasty poundcake I have ever had! And so easy! I didn't even need the fruit and whipped cream to be in heaven. I used half of it to make a trifle and everyone was bowled over by the flavor of the cake! Thanks Richard for a cake I will be making many, many times again!

I'm toying with the idea of making my own cake or cupcake tower for my upcoming wedding, so I'm trying out some new recipes. I made cupcakes out of this recipe and boy were they great! I was concerned that it would be too dense, but they were surprisingly light and wonderfully flavored (not to mention, super easy!). I used a cream cheese icing that was really good but overpowered the flavor of the cake . . . think I'll try a whipped cream topping next time. Currently I have a couple cupcakes stashed in the freezer to see if I would be able to make the cakes ahead of time, freeze them, then thaw them out for decorating before serving. Oh, and for any of you who care, I found that scooping the batter into a zip top bag then piping it into the cake liners is definitely the mess-free way to go with cupcakes! Thanks for this recipe!

When I was making this cake I had planned to skip reviewing it because I wasn't following the recipe exactly, but...I just had to add my note because it turned out so great. I was down to the wire with about an hour until company arrived and all I had for dessert was some lemon curd that I had made. When I looked in the pantry I had a lemon cake mix and brownie mixes. Luckily, I chose the lemon cake mix. That was the only change I made.I baked it in a large loaf pan and it taste great. With lemon curd and whipped cream it will be delicious. Oh yeah, I did add a little rum extract. I thought lemon and rum sounded like a match.

I made this cake today and like another reviewer I used a lemon cake mix. I also use coconut oil instead of vegetable oil. I think lemon and coconut go well together and this turned out great. The cake had just a hint of coconut and was not overpowering the lemon flavor. This is a "kepper".

Love this recipe! I've made this many times and everyone raves about it. The only change I make is to eliminate the almond extract and use 2 teaspoons of vanilla. I can't recommend it highly enough!

I broke out into a fat just looking at this cake, but otherwise this made a very light and finely crumbed cake worth repeating.

Have to agree with all of the previous reviewers, this is great. I am always incredibly skeptical of these "cake mix doctor" recipes, most of them taste awful, like artificially flavored cake mix, but this one was truly the exception. You cannot tell that this is made with a mix. It is beautifully light and fluffy- but not too "eggy". Will make again!

Made this cake without the vanilla extract but trippled the almond, also I caramelized almonds, crushed them into pieces and put half of it in the batter. Used the other half to decorate the cake atop of a confectioners sugar/almond drizzle... It was delicious. For once I even impressed my DMIL

This is a wonderful cake. Delicate flavor, beautiful texture and easy to make. What more can you ask for? I served this for my brother's and mother's birthdays with strawberries and cool whip as optional toppings. It's delicious all on it's own though. I think I may try it subbing lemon extract for the almond next time. Thanks for the great recipe!

Delicious- Moist cake! I have a "favorite" pound cake recipe that I've been using for years- this gave it a run for it's money! We loved this cake. I did serve with raspberries & whipped cream but I think I like it the best just plain. Thanks for a great recipe!

This did not have the texture of pound cake but it really is a wonderfully light cake. I served it as shortcake using cream and blueberries. It was very moist and wonderful.

I made this for coffee hour at church and used the leftovers for an impromptu trifle. My husband enjoyed this cake very much! The only thing I missed was the crusty part/edges that a trad. cream cheese pound cake has. Thanks Richard, for posting. Roxygirl

I am not much of a baker. So when I can bake something that my family thinks is awesome - that means the recipe was great. This pound cake was very moist. I served it with whipped cream and cut up strawberries. The almond flavor gave it a little something extra. This is a great recipe for all those non - bakers.

I have been very disappointed with the DH butter recipe cake mix lately. Not only did I have a problem with this cake falling, but my sister told me she had the same problem. Several of the sites I have visited said the same thing. My suggestion: do not use DH, but use another brand. The taste is absolutely wonderful, but I made this particular recipe to give as a Christmas gift and it was a complete flop! It is sitting on my counter looking like a flat tire and it is not a "cheap" recipe to make. By the way, I am a professional caterer and do know how to bake a cake. This will make great muffins!

Another wonderful recipe to add to my Cake Mix Collection and a recipe with a review that is long over due. This delicious Pound Cake was an absolute hit with my guests. Love the flavor and the texture. I used a bundt pan and it looked as good as good as it tasted. There's not much that I can add that has not already been said, it is one terrific pound cake. This cake is one that can stand on it's own but I can't wait to serve it with chocolate covered strawberries and in a trifle! It's a keeper. Thank you Richard.
