Best Chocolate Cream Cheese Pound Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease/spray a 10-inch Bundt pan.
• Cream butter, cream cheese, and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Add vanilla.
• In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and cocoa. Add about half of the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat well. Add remaining flour mixture and beat well for about 2 minutes.
• Pour batter into Bundt pan. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until done.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. With an electric mixer, beat butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar; beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla. With mixer on low, add flour and salt in two additions, beating until just combined.
• Generously coat two 8 1/2-by-4 1/2- by-2 1/2-inch loaf pans (1 1/2 quarts each) with cooking spray; immediately pour in batter (pan will seem full). Tap pans on work surface to eliminate any large air bubbles.
• Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out almost clean, 60 to 75 minutes (if the tops begin to brown too quickly, tent with aluminum foil).
• Cool 10 minutes in the pan. Turn out the cakes; cool completely, with top sides up, on a wire rack.

Steps:

• 1. A stand mixer works best for this recipe for me. Cream together the butter and cream cheese on high until almost white. Gradually add sugar. Gradually add the cocoa. Add the dash of cinnamon. Never stop the mixer if possible. Add the eggs one at a time incorporating each completely before adding the next. Add the vanilla. Add the salt.
• 2. Gradually add the flour one cup at a time incorporating each completely. Turn the mixer on high and mix for at least another minute.
• 3. Pour the cake batter into a well greased and floured tube pan. May use powdered sugar instead of flour if you like. This will add to the crispness of the sides. Place cake in a cold oven and bake at 315 degrees for approximately 2 hours. I usually check the readiness with a knife at 1 hour 45 minutes. Allow to stand in the pan about 20 minutes before turning out. Then allow another 20 minutes before cutting to serve.
• 4. Can place on a beautiful cake plate and surround with frosted grapes or chocolate dipped strawberries. This cake is wonderful alone or served with ice cream or fruit or both! Whipped cream is nice too!
