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!
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup butter softened
- 3 teaspoons vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
- 4 eggs
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cake flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
- 2-3 teaspoons vanilla almond milk or milk
-
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
-
In large bowl, using mixer, cream the sugar, cream cheese, butter and vanilla bean paste.
-
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well in between each egg addition.
-
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cake flour and baking powder and gently fold the dry ingredients in the wet ingredients until it is just combined.
-
For a bundt cake, grease and flour the bundt pan well and pour in the cake batter and bake for 50-60 mins.
-
For loaf pans use 2 - 8-1/2 x 4-1/2" parchment lined loaf pans and divide the batter between the two pans evenly and bake for 30-40 mins.
-
Use a 9 x 5" pan, parchment lined loaf pan and bake for 50-60 mins.
-
Insert a toothpick or cake tester near the center of the cake; it should come out clean, with no batter sticking to it.
-
Cool on wire rack.
-
Using mixer, beat all ingredients together until very smooth. Add more or less milk to get the frosting to the proper consistency you would like.
-
Swirl the frosting on top of the cake, slice and devour!
Keep in airtight container and can be kept in fridge or room temp.
www.beanilla.com has excellent bean paste.
*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.
If using glass pans, the oven temperature should be 25 degrees F. less that the recipe requires.
Metal pans are either dark or shiny. Some bakers prefer dark pans, which darken the crust.

Thank you Tina! I got it on Beanilla Premium Vanilla. It’s a Madagascar Vanilla Bean Paste @ https://www.beanilla.com/madagascar-vanilla-bean-paste. It doesn’t take long to get in the mail. Tomorrow on the blog I have the same Vanilla Cream Cheese Pound Cake using vanilla beans instead of paste and has a vanilla bean glaze. It tastes amazing without glaze as well. Happy baking and enjoy! http://www.thebakingchocolatess.com/wp-admin/edit-comments.php#comments-form

Anyone tried to make this with 9″ round pans? This sounds delicious! I have been searching for a new vanilla cake recipe
Hi Tiffany! You would have to double the recipe if you do decide to. I do have a Vanilla Cake Recipe on the blog here that’s pretty popular: http://www.thebakingchocolatess.com/super-moist-vanilla-cake-with-vanilla-buttercream-frosting/. You can switch it out with cream cheese frosting or whatever frosting you want to decorate.
Could you make this into like a birthday cake with 2 9″ round pans? Would it hold up to being decorated you think?
Hi…this looks so yummy!!! Would like to be able to make these in mini size loaf pans. Is it possible and if so is the oven temperature still the same and how long would these bake for? Thanks so much!
Hi Lauren! The temperature would be same but depending on the size of the mini loaf pans and how many you are doing would depend on the time. If you were doing 2 probably 28-32 minutes, 3 minis probably 23-28 mins. I would just keep a good watch on them. Let us know and you are very welcome!
