Vanilla Buttermilk Pound Cake with Cream Cheese Glaze Recipe

Vanilla Buttermilk Pound Cake with Cream Cheese Glaze Recipe
Ingredients
For the Cake:
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
2 ½ cups granulated sugar
5 large eggs, room temperature
3 cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
For the Cream Cheese Glaze:
4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
2–3 Tbsp milk or heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease and flour a bundt or tube pan.
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes).
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add dry ingredients to the butter mixture alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour.
Stir in vanilla extract until smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Cream Cheese Glaze:
Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing well. Slowly add milk or cream until glaze is pourable but not too thin. Drizzle generously over the cake.
