Bundt Pan

Mixing Bowls Set

Electric Hand Mixer

Vanilla Extract

Rubber Spatula

Marzetti Strawberry Glaze

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
• 3 cups, granulated sugar
• 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
• 6 large eggs room temperature
• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 13.5 oz package of marzetti glaze (strawberry flavor)
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 3-4 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon strawberry glaze

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350.

Place eggs in a bowl with warm water to bring them to room temperature.

Beat butter in stand mixer or in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, gradually add the sugar and allow the two to cream for 4-5 mins, until light and fluffy.

Add in cream cheese and beat until creamy.

Remove eggs from water and add them one at a time, beating after each and scraping down the bowl to make sure it’s all fully incorporated.

Add the flour one cup at a time on low speed and scrape the bowl afterwards.

Fold in vanilla extract with rubber spatula (this keeps you from beating out air and allows you an opportunity to make sure all ingredients are incorporated).

Spray bundt pan with cooking spray or use homemade cake release, be sure to get the sides of the pan.

Add 1/2 of batter to the prepared pan.

To make the strawberry glaze, whisk together all ingredients starting with 3 tbsp creme and only add the 4th if the glaze isn’t pourable.

Spoon 7-8 dollops of strawberry glaze on top of the batter and then swirl with a spoon, knife or skewer.

Top the strawberry swirl with the remaining pound cake batter.

Add to the oven for a baking time of 80-90 mins (until skewer comes out clean). Rotate the pan at 45 mins. Begin checking with a wooden skewer around the 75 min mark.

Let the entire cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.

In a medium bowl, mix together confectioners’ sugar, heavy cream and strawberry glaze. Pour over the strawberry cake.

Serve cake on a serving platter garnished with fresh berries.

Store your cream cheese pound cake for up 3 days in the refrigerator. Let come back to room temperature before serving.
