Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Pound Cake takes nut butter to the Bundt cake pan with the added richness of cream cheese.
Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Pound Cake
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Pound Cake is my recipe of the day with the blogging group Bundt Bakers. We get together once per month to post different Bundt cake recipes on various themes.
This month the theme is nut butters. I decided on a peanut butter Bundt cake with the added richness of cream cheese. Most times I serve my pound cakes plain with a little sugar sprinkle. Often with ice cream or a fruit compote (such as a strawberry shortcake base).
But you can serve this any way you prefer. I have some other frostings listed with some of my other cake recipes and a cream cheese frosting would do just fine. Or perhaps you’d like a pbj version where you can nuke some jam until it gets melty and drizzle it over the top? I would be right there with you.
