Orange Cream Cheese Pound Cake - Can be made Vegan



Every once in a while I feel the need, the need to bake. Most of what I bake ends up going into the office with my husband. I love to bake it and would love to eat the entire confection (almost whatever it is). I did taste this and was surprised at how moist and delicious this cake is. Great with a cup of tea on a winter afternoon. This makes two loaves of pound cake.  To make this cake you will need: 
Pam


1 8-ounce softened cream cheese (Vegan - Tofutti cream cheese)
1 stick butter softened (Vegan - 1 stick Earth Balance)
1 2/3 cups sugar
2 Eggs (Vegan - 2 Egg Replacer)
2 1/4 cups of all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup milk
1/2 cup ground walnuts
2 tablespoons orange zest
1/4 cup orange juice

1.)  Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Prepare two loaf pans by spraying with Pam
2.)  Combine cream cheese and shortening, creaming well.
3.)  Gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy.
4.)  Add eggs, beating well after each addition.
5.)  Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Mix well after each addition.
6.)  Stir in walnuts and orange peel.
7.)  Pour batter into the prepared loaf pans          
8.)  Bake for 55 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
9.)  Let cool in pan for 10 mintues. Then sprinkle orange juice over loaves. Remove to wire rack to finish cooling.
