Velvety Cream Cheese Pound Cake

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups unsalted butter, softened
8 oz cream cheese, softened
3 cups granulated sugar
6 large eggs
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt

Directions:

Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or tube pan.

Cream the butter and cream cheese:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy (about 2-3 minutes). Gradually add the sugar and continue beating until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs and vanilla:
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Mix the dry ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Bake the cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 75-90 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top of the cake begins to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.

Cool and serve:
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, slice and enjoy this rich, velvety cake on its own or with fresh fruit or whipped cream.
