Yum!!!!! This pound cake was so easy and moist. I love it! My husband told me that his grandmother (who is the worlds best baker) would be proud. The only thing I did differently was add 1/2 tsp. extra vanilla and stir the flour in by hand as to not add too much air. I think it makes a big difference when making pound cake. Make this...you won't be disappoited! :)

Absolutely amazing cake! I made a half batch and baked it in a loaf pan. At the 60 min mark, I tented a piece of foil over the pan to prevent the crust from browning too much. Also added a pinch of salt and used the full tsp of vanilla for the half batch. I let the butter, cream cheese and eggs come to room temperature completely before starting. I froze most of the cake in slices, will update this review when I thaw it. Thanks, Jeff and Amanda!

Love this cake! I added some almond extract as well. My family devoured it! Next time I'll try making it lemon by adding some lemon extract and lemon zest. This recipe is a definite keeper.
