So today I\u2019m sharing this old-fashioned pineapple cream cheese pound cake<\/a> to satisfy my own hankering, and hopefully you love it too! <\/p>\n Jump to Recipe<\/a><\/p>\n Cream Cheese:<\/strong> Results in a velvety texture with a slightly tangy, creamy flavor.<\/p>\n Butter:<\/strong> Keeps the cake moist and adds flavor.<\/p>\n Sugar:<\/strong> Granulated sugar<\/a> sweetens the cake but also helps it to brown properly and stay moist.<\/p>\n Eggs:<\/strong> These are what leavens (or helps rise) the cake. They also provide structure and richness.<\/p>\n Pineapple:<\/strong> Look for crushed pineapple in juice. You\u2019ll want to drain it in a mesh sieve, and if you like you can reserve that juice to make a glaze.<\/p>\n Lemon Juice:<\/strong> Just a few drops really help to bring out the taste of the pineapple. Don\u2019t worry, the final result won\u2019t be super lemony. It will just be a deeper, fruitier flavor.<\/p>\n Vanilla<\/a>:<\/strong> Enhances the sweetness of the cake and compliments the pineapple taste.<\/p>\n Flour:<\/strong> Cake flour<\/a> provides structure and allows for a fine, even crumb. If you aren\u2019t familiar with this product you can learn more here: What is Cake Flour?<\/a>.<\/p>\n Salt:<\/strong> Enhances and intensifies all the flavors.<\/p>\n Step 4:<\/strong> Generously grease and flour a 12-cup capacity bundt pan. (Or, halve this recipe and bake it in a 9\u00d75-inch loaf pan.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Step 5:<\/strong> Transfer the batter to the pan and bake the cake in a preheated oven until a skewer inserted in the thickest part comes out clean or with one or two moist crumbs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Step 6:<\/strong> (Optional!) Make a quick icing glaze by stirring a little of the reserved pineapple juice into some powdered sugar<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Step 7:<\/strong> Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Prepping the pan:<\/strong> It\u2019s really important to generously<\/em> grease and flour your bundt pan. Nothing is more heartbreaking than having a big cake like this stick or fall apart as you\u2019re trying to unmold it. Such a waste of ingredients! Be very thorough, and don\u2019t neglect the \u201cstem.\u201d<\/p>\n Whip:<\/strong> Cream the cream cheese, butter, and sugar together for a full 5 minutes minimum. It should look really fluffy and almost white. This is how you know you\u2019ve whipped in enough air so the cake has a lighter texture.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t overbeat:<\/strong> Once the flour goes in you want to mix it just enough to get it incorporated. Over-mixing could activate the glutens and result in a tough mouthfeel. <\/p>\n Time it right:<\/strong> If you underbake your cake, it could come out gummy and it could collapse as it cools. But too long in the oven could leave you with a dry texture. So flip on the light and keep an eye on your cake as it bakes. When it\u2019s puffy, golden, and no longer looks wet on top crack the oven door and slide your hand in to lightly press the top. It should feel springy. If it does, insert a skewer in the thickest part. If it comes out clean or with just one or two crumbs clinging to it, your cake is done!<\/p>\n Cool completely:<\/strong> Pound cakes<\/a> are very tender when still warm. So much so that they could fall apart when you try to unmold. Make sure your cake is adequately cool before inverting it onto the serving platter.<\/p>\n![\"Old-fashioned](\"https:\/\/bakingamoment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4655-old-fashioned-pineapple-cream-cheese-pound-cake-720x1080.jpg\")
