Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 8 oz block cream cheese (at room temperature)
  • 1 cup butter (at room temperature)
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla paste (or vanilla extract)
  • 15 oz all-purpose flour, by weight ((3 cups, if measuring))

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  • Prepare a bundt pan by greasing with butter and dusting with flour. This will prevent the cake from sticking.
  • Cream the cream cheese and butter together until combined. Add the sugar and salt and mix until incorporated and smooth. Add the eggs one at a time allowing each to incorporate before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla paste. Next add the flour. Mix until just combined, be careful not to over mix.
  • Scrape the dough into the prepared pan, smooth out the top with your spatula, and place in the oven. Bake for 1 hour and 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool for 20 minutes in the pan, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy plainly sliced, or garnished with berries and whipped cream!
