Welcome back to the kitchen, friends! Today, we're making a modified pound cake that swaps out most of the butter for cream cheese, resulting in a lighter, fluffier cake with a hint of tang. Plus, we're using the reverse creaming method to coat the flour in fat before adding liquids, reducing gluten development for a softer texture.
This cake is perfect on its own, but imagine it with lemon zest, a sugar-lemon syrup drizzle, or fresh strawberries—pure magic! Need a full bundt pan? Just double the recipe for a larger cake.
Support a Great Cause!
I'm gearing up to fly for Hope Air’s Give Hope Wings fundraiser again this summer! Hope Air helps Canadians in remote areas reach life-saving medical treatment. Last year, you my viewers donated $40,000, and I know we can do it again! Check out the links below to learn more and donate.
Oh, and if you want a snazzy Glen & Friends apron, they're available too—quality Canadian-made and built to last! But if you'd rather donate to charity or a local food bank, that would be even better.
