ingredients

The Cake

  • cups (3 sticks) butter, room temperature
  • 1 8 oz package of cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup maraschino cherry juice, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup pureed maraschino cherries

Caramel Glaze

instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300F.
  • Spray a bundt pan with baking spray.
  • Puree 1/2 cup of maraschino cherries in a blender or food processor. Set aside.
  • Beat butter and cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugar until mixture is light and fluffy.
  • On medium-low speed, mix vanilla and salt.
  • Add eggs one at a time, until combined.
  • Slowly mix in the flour and cherry juice, alternating between the two.
  • Mix in the pureed maraschino cherries.
  • Pour the mixture into the bundt pan and bake for 1 hour and 40 minutes or until an inserted knife comes out clean.
  • Cool for 20 minutes before removing from pan.
  • Melt the unwrapped Vanilla Caramel Creams® and butter in a small sauce pan, over medium heat. Once the butter melts and the caramel begins to soften, stir the mixture until smooth. Stir in one table spoon of condensed milk at a time, at least four times, until the sauce flows swiftly from a spoon. For a thinner sauce, add more condensed milk, one tablespoon at a time.
  • Pour the warm caramel sauce evenly over the pound cake.
  • Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
