Cream Cheese Pound Cake

Gather all the necessary components for preparation.

First, preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius). Next, lightly coat a 10-inch tube pan with non-stick spray or grease it thoroughly and dust it evenly with flour to prevent the cake from sticking.

Now, combine softened butter and cream cheese in a mixing bowl until they form a smooth and creamy mixture. Gradually incorporate granulated sugar into the mixture, beating continuously until it reaches a light and airy consistency.

Subsequently, add eggs one at a time to the mixture, beating well after each addition. Then, incorporate all-purpose flour into the mixture in one swift motion and mix until it's just combined. Finally, add a hint of vanilla flavor to the mixture and blend well.

Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan, ensuring it's evenly distributed and smooth.

Place the cake in a preheated oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius) for 1 hour and 20 minutes, checking its readiness after the initial 60 minutes. To verify doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
