Cream Cheese Pound Cake With Strawberry Coulis Recipes

CREAM CHEESE POUND CAKE WITH STRAWBERRY COULIS

Steps:

• 1. DO NOT PREHEAT OVEN. Grease and flour a 10 to 15 cup bundt pan. NOTE: I use Baker's Joy and I used a 10 to 15 cup bundt pan for this recipe.
• 2. Sift flour and salt together; set aside.
• 3. In a large mixing bowl cream together butter, cream cheese and sugar for 10 minutes on low speed.
• 4. Beat in eggs alternately with flour, mixing well after each addition; add vanilla and almond extracts.
• 5. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• 6. Set oven to 325 degrees; bake for 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 1/2 hours or until toothpick or cake tester inserted into center of cake comes out clean. Cool in pan.
• 7. STRAWBERRY COULIS (Strawberry Sauce pronounced: Koo-lee) Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan and bring the mix to a boil. Once it is boiling and the sugar has been dissolved, remove from heat and transfer the mixture to a blender.
• 8. Blend until smooth, and then pass the sauce through a mesh strainer to remove the seeds. NOTE: Straining is not necessary and it doesn't make it taste any better, just a personal preference.
• 9. Serve on top of ice cream, cake, pancakes & waffles, or as a topping for cheesecake. Freeze any remaining for future use.
