Tips:
- Use a room temperature cream cheese for a smoother batter and better texture.
- Cream the butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter and give the cake a lighter texture.
- Gradually add the sugar to the butter and cream cheese mixture, beating until well combined. Make sure not to overbeat the batter, as this can make the cake tough.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt before adding them to the batter. This will help ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed and that the cake rises properly.
- Stir in the poppy seeds until just combined. Overmixing can cause the poppy seeds to bleed into the batter and give the cake a bitter flavor.
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9x13 inch baking pan. Bake in a preheated 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before serving. This will help the cake set and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Cream cheese poppy seed pound cake is a delicious and classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its moist and flavorful crumb and sweet and nutty poppy seeds, this cake is sure to be a hit.
