What does this mean?

This recipe is from "Goodness Gracious" by Roxie Kelley, a charming little cookbook I received as a wedding gift. I find it is best served with fruit, especially blueberries or strawberries, mashed with a splash of lemon juice added and a few spoonfuls of sugar.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter (room temperature)
  • 8 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 6 eggs
  • 3 cups sifted cake flour
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla

Method

  1. Grease a 9-in. tube pan. In a mixer, combine the butter and cream cheese and beat on low speed until well mixed. Add the sugar gradually and beat until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the flour and vanilla, and beat only until the flour disappears. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
  3. Place in a cold oven, and turn the oven temperature to 325 F. Bake the cake for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
