As you know, I usually stay away from cakes with eggs. In these eight years, I have tried to bake a perfect egg free pound cake, but have failed miserably. I always end up with a really heavy and buttery cake. So I have stopped trying it out. When I saw the cream cheese pound cake recipe online, I was tempted to try it, but this time I tried it with eggs. After starting my diet, I have become so comfortable using eggs in recipes, so I didn’t hesitate to try this recipe.
I used home made cream cheese made with veg rennet for the cake and it was just perfect. I loved the texture of the final cake. My mom used to bake pound cake for our birthdays and this cake reminded me of the cakes mom used to bake. It was so nostalgic and I just went back in time. My taste tester is my daughter as I don’t eat cakes because of my diet. She gave a huge thumbs up for the cake and I was just happy. This happiness doesn’t come even if I eat that slice.
Check out the video to know how easy this cake can be put together. Except for the slice Sruti ate, all the other slices went off to hubby’s colleagues. I don’t usually get feedback from them but hubby returning with an empty box is enough to tell the tale. Do subscribe to my channel to receive updates whenever I post a new video.

Ma’am i have seen so many recepies of pound cake, but haven’t come across any eggless recepie of the same.
I humbly request you to please tell me the substitute of eggs here, or an eggless cream cheese pound cake.
Waiting desperately to try out with your response.
Thanks!!
It is so hard to do eggless pound cakes. But let me try again.
I will eagerly wait for you to respond and for me to cook the same. Thanks.
I noticed you have some other eggless pound cake recipes in your blog. But not a eggless version with cream cheese. how to use cream cheese in eggless version… pls guide.
I haven’t made an eggless version of this recipe.
When did you add the eggs ? Also , isn’t 1/2 tsp baking powder very less for the amount of maida and corflour that you are adding?
I forgot to mention in the recipe, but it is included in the video. Eggs are added after the sugar. One by one and beat until incorporated. As there are so many eggs, they also help in the leavening. That is the reason pound cakes have little baking powder.
