List of Ingredients

DOUBLE RICH POUND CAKE

3/4 cup butter (NOT margarine)
1 (8-ounce) package of cream cheese
6 eggs
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoon real vanilla

Allow butter, cream cheese and eggs to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, grease and lightly flour a 10-inch tube pan, Bundt pan or 2 (8 x 4 x 2-inch) loaf pans; set aside. Preheat oven to 325o F. Combine flour and baking powder; set aside. In a mixing bowl beat butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Gradually add sugar, beating about 6 minutes or until very light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating 1 minute after each addition and scraping bowl frequently.

Add flour mixture, beating on low to medium speed just until combined. Pour batter into prepared pan, spreading with the back of a spoon or small spatula, if necessary, to form an even layer. Bake for 60 to 65 minutes for tube pans or 60 - 70 for loaf pans or until wooden toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan, cool thoroughly on rack. To serve, cut slices thinly, 1/2-inch to 1-inch thick
