Cream Cheese Pound Cake Using Timed-Delay Feature
This recipe, along with others that require foods to be cooked in a “cold start” oven or an oven that has not been preheated, works
well on our Timed-Delay baking feature.
Nonstick cooking spray
1
⁄2 pound butter (2 sticks), softened
1
⁄2 cup vegetable shortening
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
3 cups sugar
Dash of salt
6 eggs
3 cups cake flour
2 Tbsp. vanilla extract
Spray two 9" x 5" loaf pans with nonstick cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, combine butter, vegetable shortening, cream cheese,
sugar and salt. Mix together until well creamed. Add eggs 1 at a time mixing after each addition. Add flour 1 cup at a time. Add vanilla
and combine. Divide batter into loaf pans. Place both loaves in cold oven on rack position 2.
TO SET TIMED DELA
Y:
• Press Convection Bake mode and the Down arrow until you reach 325˚F.
• Press Cook Time button. This refers to the time you wish for the pound cake to be done cooking. Use the “Up” arrow to enter 55 minutes.
• Finally, press the Stop Time button. This refers to the time you wish for the pound cake to be done baking. Use the Up arrow to
select the time of day you wish to have the dessert.
• If you wish to start the pound cake now, don’t enter a new time into the Stop Time, just press Stop Time once. You must not skip
this step, or the oven will go through its normal preheat with the broiler. Notice that the 55 minutes has been added into the
Stop Time for you.
• When the pound cake is done, 3 beeps will sound. Remove the cake, let cool, and enjoy your perfectly cooked pound cake.
• If you are not around to hear the beep, the oven will go into a “Hold” mode. It will display Hold on the screen and maintain 150˚F.
The oven is going into a Hold mode at 150˚F so that the food will not be in the temperature danger zone (40˚F-140˚F). Keep in
mind that the pound cake will continue to cook in the Hold mode due to the residual heat in the oven, but it will be safe to serve
to your guests. It will remain in this mode for 2 hours.
Makes two 9" x 5" loaves.

show on the clock display, but it is very important to set the time of day you would like the food completed.
