Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups of all-purpose flour.
  • 3 cups of granulated white sugar.
  • 1 cup of softened unsalted butter.
  • 8 ounces of softened cream cheese.
  • 6 large eggs at room temperature.
  • 1 tablespoon of pure vanilla extract.
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Instructions
 

Prep your oven and pan

  • First, preheat your oven to 325 degrees. This low heat helps the cake bake evenly. Grease your Bundt pan very well with butter. Sprinkle a little flour over the butter. Shake out any extra flour from the pan.

Cream the butter and cheese

  • Put the butter and cream cheese in a bowl. Mix them together until very smooth. Use a medium speed on your mixer. It should look light and very fluffy. This step takes about three minutes.

Add the sugar

  • Slowly pour the sugar into the bowl. Keep mixing while you pour it in. Mix for another five minutes. The mixture should look almost white. This adds air to your pound cake.

Mix in the eggs

  • Add the eggs one at a time. Mix well after each egg you add. This keeps the batter very smooth. Scrape the sides of the bowl often. Do not rush this part of the recipe.

Add vanilla and salt

  • Pour in the vanilla extract now. Add the salt to the bowl too. Mix it for just a few seconds. The smell will be very sweet and nice.

Fold in the flour

  • Turn your mixer to the lowest speed. Add the flour slowly to the wet batter. Mix until the flour just disappears. Do not overmix the cake batter. Overmixing makes the cake very tough.

Bake the cake

  • Pour the batter into your prepared pan. Smooth the top with a small spoon. Put it in the oven for 1 hour. Check it with a long toothpick. The toothpick should come out clean.

Cool the cake

  • Let the cake sit for ten minutes. Keep it in the pan for now. Then, flip it onto a wire rack. Let it cool completely before you slice it.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients. This helps the batter stay smooth.
  • Do not open the oven door. This can make the cake sink.
  • Cream the butter very well. It makes the cake light and airy.
  • Measure your flour correctly. Use a spoon to fill your cup.
  • Grease every nook of the pan. This prevents the cake from sticking.
  • Use high-quality vanilla. It makes the flavor much better.
