Cook Time: 75 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup butter, room temperature

Preparation:

In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and shortening with an electric hand-held mixer on medium speed, until light. Gradually beat in the sugar. Beat in cream cheese. Add flour, alternating with the eggs, beginning and ending with flour. Stir in vanilla and almond extracts. Pour batter into a generously greased and floured 10-inch tube pan.

Didn't work for meJuly 29, 2009By fragiam
"I can't tell you if my oven was responsible or not, but this recipe didn't work for me. I followed the recipe to the tee and I tried it twice and got the same results. The cake was wet like bread custard on the inside. I even cooked it 25 minutes longer than called for on the second try, with no change. I mixed all ingredience as instructed in order. My oven does fine on other cakes. Sorry that I can not praise the outcome."
