Ingredients

For the pound cake:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (260 grams)
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 8 ounces cream cheese , at room temperature (225 grams)
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter , at room temperature (170 grams)
  • 1 ½ cup granulated sugar (300 grams)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 4 large eggs , at room temperature

For the whipped cream:

  • 1 cup heavy cream (250 ml)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Fresh fruit , for serving
  • Additional honey , for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Butter and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  • In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, butter, and sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each. Add the vanilla. Add the dry ingredients and mix on low until the mixture is just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour - 1 hour 15 minutes.
  • Let cake cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • To make the whipped cream, beat the heavy cream on high speed to soft peaks. Add the honey and vanilla and beat until just barely stiff peaks.
  • Serve immediately on top of the pound cake with fresh fruit and a drizzle of honey if desired.
  • The pound cake will store tightly wrapped at room temperature for several days. The whipped cream should be stored in the fridge.
