HOW TO MAKE PINEAPPLE CREAM CHEESE POUND CAKE
Do you have any dishes from your youth that you find yourself craving even now? One of those recipes for me is a pineapple cream cheese pound cake. I make it often. It was one of the breakfasts that my mother and father often prepared for us while we were growing up, and it has always been one of my personal favorites.
This pineapple pound cake made from scratch has a flavor that is rich and buttery, with a hint of pineapple flavor and is finished off with a cream cheese frosting. A pineapple bundt cake is an ideal dessert to enjoy during the warm summer months. Even though this cake has the consistency of pound cake, the addition of sour cream ensures that it is very moist throughout.
Despite the fact that this cake is made from scratch, I still believe it to be simple to prepare. A sour cream pound cake is one of my favorite types of cake, and this one is quite similar to others of its kind. However, it also contains crushed pineapple, which gives it a unique taste. The addition of a little bit of pineapple flavor to the cream cheese glaze is not only a beautiful way to top it off but also really adds to the excellent taste that it already has.
This particular recipe for pound cake deviates from the norm in a few significant ways. My preference is for a really moist cake, as opposed to the traditional sorts of pound cakes, which may sometimes be a touch on the dry side. This one is a variation of a pound cake in its own right. You are still able to experience the same texture, but one that is wetter than the standard kind.
