Cream Cheese Pound Cake 2

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups butter, softened
1 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
3 cups sugar
6 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 300°F.

Use an electric mixer to mix both butter and cream cheese until creamy. Gradually add sugar and beat for 5 minutes, then add eggs one at a time, allowing each to incorporate before adding more. Stir in vanilla.

Sift flour and salt and add gradually to the mixer, beating until well blended. Pour batter into a well greased and floured bundt pan or tube cake pan.

Place 2 cups water in an ovenproof container on the rack in the oven next to the cake. Bake cake at 300 for an hour and 45 minutes, or until a toothpick can be removed cleanly.

Place pan on a wire rack and cool for 15 minutes, then remove the cake from the pan and complete cooling on the wire rack.
