Nana's Cream Cheese Pound Cake

Nana's Cream Cheese Pound Cake


This cake brings some special memories to mind. My Mom always made
this cake with such love. So while I'm making it I always think of her
and how much she loved baking and sharing what she had made with
our family. This cake is so simple yet sooo yummy.

3 sticks butter (salted or unsalted it doesn't matter) room temperature
1 8oz. regular cream cheese - room temperature
3 cups sugar
6 eggs
3 cups cake flour
2 teaspoons vanilla


Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a 10 inch bundt pan. I
actually spray mine with flour baking spray and it works wonderfully.

In your bowl cream butter and cream cheese until very smooth. Add
sugar gradually and beat until very fluffy. I usually beat this about 3
or 4 minutes.

Add 1 egg at a time....beating well with each egg until all are added.
Then add flour in a cup at a time until all is mixed in. At this time add
and mix in vanilla.

Pour mix into greased pan. Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Allow to
cool before flipping out of pan after baking or at least 20 minutes then
allow to come to room temperature.

**Do Not Use regular Pam to spray pan....cake will stick. USE Baking
Pam with flour or Pillsbury Baking Spray**

Baking Tip - You can also add 2 teaspoons of lemon extract OR 2
teaspoons almond extract to this recipe and make it the flavor you
like. You would still add the vanilla.

ENJOY!!!
