CHOCOLATE CREAM CHEESE POUND CAKE
This is a recipe from Paula Deen that appeared on bakeorbreak.com when I was searching for a chocolate cake. I loved the idea of a chocolate cake with cream cheese in the batter! I substituted half the butter with vegetable oil just because I was running out of butter but it still turned out very rich. My 2 and 4 yr old boys were fighting over the crumbs it was so good!

Tips:
- Choose the right cream cheese. For the best results, use full-fat cream cheese that has been softened to room temperature. This will help ensure that the cake is smooth and creamy.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
- Gradually add the eggs, one at a time. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
Cream cheese pound cake is a delicious and classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich, creamy flavor and moist, tender texture, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a special treat, be sure to give this recipe a try.
