Indulge in the rich and decadent flavors of this Caramel Cream Cheese Pound Cake. A moist and tender pound cake infused with cream cheese, topped with a luscious caramel sauce.

Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup whole milk

For the Caramel Sauce:

  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake: In a large bowl, cream together butter, cream cheese, and sugar until light and fluffy (4-5 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each.
  2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with flour. Mix until just combined. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Baking: Pour batter into prepared pan(s) and smooth the top. Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 65-75 minutes (bundt) or 60-70 minutes (loaf), or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 15-20 minutes, then turn onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. Make the Caramel Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add brown sugar and stir constantly for 2-3 minutes until it starts to bubble. Slowly add heavy cream while stirring, then cook 2-3 more minutes until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and salt.
  6. Finish the Cake: Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle caramel sauce over the top.

Notes

  • You can add chopped nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt on top for extra flavor.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
