This makes a beautiful cake. You can leave it plain or put a light glaze on it. I made it for New Year's Day with a light glaze, and everyone loved it. The next time I make it, I think I'll try a chocolate glaze.

How To Make peppermint pound cake

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 300°F. Grease and flour a bundt or tube pan.
  • 2
    In a large mixing bowl with electric mixer, cream the butter with the cream cheese until soft and fluffy. Add the sugar and cream until light. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, and beat well after each addition. Add the flour in stages, blending well after each addition (do not overbeat). Fold in the vanilla and peppermint.
  • 3
    In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff, but not dry. Gently fold the egg whites into the cake batter, taking care not to deflate the mixture.
  • 4
    Bake the cake for 1 hour, 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
