Ingredients

• 226 grams Unsalted butter
• 226 grams Cream cheese
• 400 grams Granulated sugar
• 6 Large eggs
• 360 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Orange zest
• 60 milliliters Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 30 grams Powdered sugar (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a standard 10-cup bundt pan. Lightly dust it with flour, tapping out the excess.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Gradually add the granulated sugar to the butter-cream cheese mixture, beating until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is fully incorporated.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the orange juice. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing gently after each addition.

Step 7

Fold in the orange zest and vanilla extract, ensuring the batter is well combined but not overmixed.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 70-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Once the cake has cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar if desired before serving.

Step 12

Slice and enjoy your moist and flavorful Orange Cream Cheese Pound Cake!
