You've Gotta Try This Recipe!

I made a Cream Cheese Pound Cake for Bible study today and it was a real hit. I am too kind to keep such recipes to myself, so here it is.

Cream Cheese Pound Cake

2 sticks butter, softened
1 8-oz. package cream cheese, softened
3 cups sugar
1 tsp. salt
6 large eggs, room temperature
4 tsps. vanilla 3 cups flour

Butter and flour a 12 cup Bundt pan and set aside. Beat cream cheese and butter until fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add sugar and salt. Beat 10 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating until blended after each one. Beat in vanilla. Add flour and beat on low speed until smooth. Pour into prepared pan. Place in cold oven. Set temperature at 200 degrees and bake for 20 minutes. Increase temperature to 225 and bake for 20 more minutes. Increase temperature to 275 and bake for 10 minutes. Increase temperature to 300 degrees and bake until toothpick comes out clean, about 50 minutes to 1 hour longer. Cool cake in pan for 15 minutes. Turn out onto rack, cool completely.

This recipe is not only good, but fun to make! Let me know if you make it and enjoy it.
