COLD OVEN CREAM CHEESE POUND CAKE

Steps:

• DO NOT PREHEAT OVEN! Prepare baking pan by generously (greasing or) buttering, then flouring, making sure excess flour is removed.
• In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, at medium-high speed, cream together the cream cheese and butter, along with the sugar, until mixture is very light in color and fluffy, a full 3-5 minutes.
• Reduce speed to low. Add eggs, incorporating one at a time. Add in the Vanilla extract and lemon zest.
• At this point, you want to be careful to not overmix, for risk of a tough cake. So, keeping mixer at the lowest speed, add in the first 2 cups of flour and the salt, mixing until you can see only a few streaks of flour. Turn off mixer and fold in, by hand, the last cup of flour, again until just a few streaks of flour are visible. One last fold, then pour into prepared tube or bundt pan.
• Place pan in the middle of oven. Turn oven on to 300F. Bake 1 hour, 25 minutes to 1 hour, 40 minutes, until a wooden skewer comes out clean. In my oven, this cake took 90 minutes.
• Remove pan from oven. Cool the cake IN the pan for about 20 minutes, then carefully turn out or remove from the tube pan. Cool completely.
• While cake bakes, prepare the Raspberry sauce, if you are using.
• Into a 2-qt saucepan, place the berries, sugar, and water. Bring mixture to a boil, then turn heat to simmer and simmer 20 minutes or so, until syrupy. Add the raspberry jam.
• Strain mixture over a fine-mesh strainer to eliminate the seeds.
• Add the lemon juice. Mix thoroughly. Cool. Refrigerate.
