Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
• 3 cups Granulated sugar
• 6 Eggs
• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or tube pan, ensuring all crevices are well-coated to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Gradually add the sugar to the butter and cream cheese mixture, beating continuously for 3-5 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure even mixing.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture in three increments, beating on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Stir in the vanilla extract by hand with a spatula to evenly distribute the flavor.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared bundt or tube pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly and smooth the surface.

Step 8

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 80-90 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack and let it cool completely before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Enjoy this creamy, dense, and flavorful pound cake on its own or with your favorite toppings like whipped cream, fresh fruit, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
