Introduction

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

Serves: 12

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

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.

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.

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.
