  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 75-85 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. In another mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar while mixing. Then mix in milk one tablespoon at a time until you achieve a pourable consistency. Finally, stir in vanilla extract.
  10. Once cooled completely, drizzle your cream cheese glaze over the top of your beautiful Red Velvet Pound Cake.
