CREAM CHEESE POUND CAKE

A pound cake made with cream cheese

I got this recipe from Annette Hall at Computer System Resources, in Georgia. (annette@gacsr.UUCP). She posted it to net.cooks, claiming that it's the best pound cake you'll ever taste. She's right!

Ingredients

(One large cake)

3/4 lb butter
3 cups granulated sugar
1/2 lb cream cheese
6 eggs (large)
3 cups cake flour sifted
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp almond extract
1 tsp vanilla extract

Procedure

Pre-heat oven to
Cream the butter, sugar, and cheese together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add salt, vanilla, and almond extract. Beat well.
Add eggs, one at a time, blending well after each.
Stir in flour. Don't be vigorous; mix it just enough to incorporate the flour.
Spoon into a greased tube pan. Bake in preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours.
Cool for 15-20 minutes, then invert the cake onto a serving dish and remove the tube pan. If you wait too long, it will stick.
