Cream Cheese Pound Cake with Strawberry Coulis image

A co-worker & friend gave the pound cake recipe to me about 8 years ago. A friend of hers had baked this cake for her birthday and gave her the recipe. She attempted to bake it and said it rose over the pan and ran over into her oven. It was my guess that "maybe" she had used self-rising flour instead of all purpose. Our office...

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 c all purpose flour, sifted
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 c sweet butter, softened
1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, softened
3 c sugar
6 large eggs, room temp
1 1/2 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp almond extract
STRAWBERRY COULIS (STRAWBERRY SAUCE)
5 1/2 c strawberries, fresh or frozen
3/4 c sugar
1/4 c water

Steps:

  • 1. DO NOT PREHEAT OVEN. Grease and flour a 10 to 15 cup bundt pan. NOTE: I use Baker's Joy and I used a 10 to 15 cup bundt pan for this recipe.
  • 2. Sift flour and salt together; set aside.
  • 3. In a large mixing bowl cream together butter, cream cheese and sugar for 10 minutes on low speed.
  • 4. Beat in eggs alternately with flour, mixing well after each addition; add vanilla and almond extracts.
  • 5. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  • 6. Set oven to 325 degrees; bake for 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 1/2 hours or until toothpick or cake tester inserted into center of cake comes out clean. Cool in pan.
  • 7. STRAWBERRY COULIS (Strawberry Sauce pronounced: Koo-lee) Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan and bring the mix to a boil. Once it is boiling and the sugar has been dissolved, remove from heat and transfer the mixture to a blender.
  • 8. Blend until smooth, and then pass the sauce through a mesh strainer to remove the seeds. NOTE: Straining is not necessary and it doesn't make it taste any better, just a personal preference.
  • 9. Serve on top of ice cream, cake, pancakes & waffles, or as a topping for cheesecake. Freeze any remaining for future use.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste. I also found the strawberry coulis to be a bit too tart.

I'm not a huge fan of cream cheese, so I was hesitant to try this recipe. But I'm glad I did! The cake was surprisingly light and fluffy, and the strawberry coulis added a nice touch of sweetness.
