Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups butter (3 sticks)
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
- 3 cups white sugar
- 6 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese until smooth.
- Gradually add the sugar and beat until fluffy.
- Add the eggs, two at a time, beating well with each addition.
- Mix in the flour all at once, followed by the vanilla extract.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 20 minutes, checking at 1 hour for doneness. Insert a toothpick into the center, and if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool before serving.
- Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days.
- For longer storage, wrap the cake in plastic wrap and aluminum foil and freeze it for up to four months. You can freeze slices for single servings.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving for a touch of sweetness.
