Instructions
- Pound Cake Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt and sit it to the side. Then, using a hand or stand mixer, beat the butter, cream cheese, and sugar together on medium speed until creamy, light, and fluffy (approximately 5 minutes).
- Add the vanilla and mix. Add the eggs to the bowl one at a time, mixing only until combined.
- Using a spoon or spatula, scrape down the sides of the bowl. Slowly mix in the flour, approximately one cup at a time just until blended. Fold the Oreos into the batter.
- Spray a 18-cup bundt pan with baking spray. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top of the batter.
- Place your pound cake into your preheated oven and bake for about an hour and 30 minutes (or longer if needed). The cake is done once a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 - 15 minutes before removing it from the pan. Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing.
- Pound Cake Glaze Instructions:
- Using a hand or stand mixer, add the powdered sugar to the bowl.
- Add the salt and vanilla.
- Slowly add the heavy whipping cream until you reach the desired consistency. (You may use more for a thicker glaze or less for a thinner glaze.)
- Pour the glaze over the cake and decorate the cake as desired with the Oreos.
- Allow the glaze to set then serve and enjoy!
