Notes

Use room temperature ingredients- eggs, butter and cream cheese should be at room temperature
Measuring ingredients - To measure the flour, first sift the flour and spoon it into the measuring cup until overflowing, then level it off with the back of the knife. Do not pack the flour.
Avoid overmixing the cake batter, as it’ll lead to a tough and rubbery cake. Mixing your ingredients on low speed will also help to avoid overmixing.
Preheat your oven - an oven thermometer is a great tool to use to ensure that your oven is at the proper temperature before baking your pound cake.
Grease your bundt pan thoroughly with baking spray that contains flour, or use butter and flour. Grease all areas including the center and ridges.
Use a toothpick to check for doneness. A wooden skewer is also an option to reach further into the pound cake. It should come out clean or with few crumbs.
Pound cakes continue to bake while they cool, so be careful not to overbake it. Pull it from the oven when a few crumbs come out clean or with just a few crumbs on the skewer. Because they continue to bake while cooling, this is another reason to not leave your cake in the pan for an extended period of time. 10 -15 minutes of cooling time is sufficient.
