From Aunt Pat…
My Mom always made pound cake at Christmas time so this has become one of my Christmas traditions. I rarely make a Bundt cake but like to bake the smaller sizes as gifts for neighbors and especially nieces & nephews (Brad)!
1 1/2 cups butter unsalted
1 (8-oz) package cream cheese
softened
3 cups sugar
6 large eggs
3 cups all purpose flour
1/8 tsp salt
1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
1. Beat butter and cream cheese with electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition
2. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to butter mixture, beating at low speed until just blended. Stir in vanilla. Spoon batter into greased and floured Bundt cake pan.
3. Bake at 300 for 1 hour and 45 min or until toothpick comes out clean.
If using for gifts divide between 7 foil (baking spray) 5 3/4 x 3 1/4 pans. Bake at 325 for 40 to 50 min.
You can also use 3 foil 8.5 x 4.5 pans. Bake at 350 for around 55 min.
I love this with morning coffee but for dessert I like to lightly toast a slice in the toaster, top with berries and whipped cream.
