INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 cup butter, room temperature

  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, room temperature
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour, sifted before measuring
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

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. Bake at 325° for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, until a wooden pick comes out clean when inserted in the center. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then remove to a rack to cool completely.

My husband adores this recipe!May 19, 2008By shweetie128
"My husband is from the south and only prefers desserts from scratch, this was my first cake ever and he loved it! I was so excited. It was just sweet enough and fluffy too. Like the other rater, I added 1 tspn baking power. I also let it bake for 15 additional minutes. My family absolutely loves the flavor and the moistness. Thanks for the inspiration!!! We will try variations soon."
