Steps

  • Step 1

    In a small bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl or in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, cream cheese, and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating in between each addition. Add the vanilla and lemon zest, and beat to combine. Add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined.

    Ingredients
    • 3 Cup all-purpose flour

    • 1/2 Teaspoon baking powder

    • 1/4 Teaspoon kosher salt

    • 1 1/2 Cup unsalted butter, softened, plus more for greasing

    • 8 Ounce cream cheese

    • 3 Cup sugar

    • 6  eggs

    • 1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract

    • 1 Tablespoon finely grated lemon zest

  • Step 2

    Grease 1 12-cup Bundt pan or two loaf pans. Pour batter into greased loaf pan(s), dividing it evenly if using the two pans.

  • Step 3

    Preheat the Traeger with the lid closed to 325°F; this will take about 15 minutes.

    Place loaf pan(s) on the grill grate and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 60 to 75 minutes. Check the cake after 45 minutes, if golden brown, cover loosely with foil and continue to cook.
