 Ingredients

  • 1½ cups (3 sticks) butter, softened
  • 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prep the Pan
    Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube or Bundt pan.
  2. Cream Butter & Cream Cheese
    In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Sugar
    Gradually mix in the sugar. Continue beating until light and fluffy.
  4. Add Eggs
    Add the eggs two at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Add Flour & Vanilla
    Add all the flour at once, mixing just until combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. Bake
    Pour the batter into your prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Start checking around the 1-hour mark.
  7. Cool & Serve
    Allow the cake to cool in the pan before transferring to a wire rack or serving plate. Serve as is or dust with powdered sugar for a little extra flair.  
 Serving Suggestions
  • This cake is delicious on its own, but pairs beautifully with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a drizzle of fruit sauce.
Storage Tips
  • Room Temp: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • Freezer: Wrap the whole cake or individual slices in plastic wrap, then foil. Freeze for up to 4 months.
