INGREDIENTS
3 sticks (1 1/2 c. or 340 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
8 ounces (1 bar/226 grams) cream cheese, room temperature
3 c. sugar
6 large Eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 c. all-purpose flour
2 tsp salt
nonstick cooking spray
HOW TO MAKE CREAM CHEESE POUND CAKE
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F or 176 degrees C.
Step 2: Beat the butter and cream cheese using an electric mixer until smooth. Add in the sugar and beat for 5 minutes more until light and fluffy. Add the eggs a piece at a time beating every after each addition. Stir in the vanilla. Adjust the mixer on low before adding the flour and salt in two additions, beating until just combined.
Step 3: With cooking spray, generously grease two 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches loaf pans (1 1/2 quarts each). Pour in the batter, tapping the pans on a work surface to rid of any large air bubbles.
Step 4: Place inside the preheated oven and bake for about 60 to 75 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the loaf comes out clean. Cover the loaf with aluminium foil if the top starts to brown too quickly.
Step 5: Remove from the oven and allow the cakes to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes. Turn the cakes out on a wire rack and cool completely.
