Vanilla Bean Cream Cheese Pound Cake Loaf {Vanilla Bean Frosting}

Calling all Vanilla Bean lovers! You might be pleasantly pleased to know that this pound cake is double-infused with vanilla bean paste, both in the cake batter and in the frosting. It’s like a Double Whammy of vanilla bean goodness!!

Vanilla Bean Cream Cheese Pound Cake Loaf {Vanilla Bean Frosting} is delectably delicious! 

This vanilla bean cream cheese pound cake has a moist, rich, velvety, dense texture, and the creamy, decadent vanilla bean frosting is a must!  Personally, I would not go without the frosting.  It’s so good with the pound cake!! 

They compliment each other so well.   But either way, it’s Vanilla LUV!  

The Madagascar Vanilla Bean Paste used makes your baked goods look extravagant and flavorful. 

 The paste is a really thick extract filled with vanilla bean seeds. It can be used 1:1 in place of vanilla extract. You can also use it in place of vanilla beans in all kinds of desserts like cookies, ice cream, and frostings, just to name a few possibilities.  

You won’t want to miss out on this rich, moist and tantalizing vanilla bean cream cheese pound cake slathered with a generous amount of vanilla bean cream cheese frosting. 

Even though it’s not chocolate, it’s still just as sinful and indulgent!

*Loaf pans come in many sizes. 

The most common sizes are 9 x 5 inches and 8-1/2 x 4-1/2 inches. Loaf pans also come in many materials.

Metal pans are either dark or shiny. Some bakers prefer dark pans, which darken the crust.
