Philadelphia Pound Cake

Everyone has their favorite cake. And what better cake to love than pound cake? It is great for dessert, a snack in the middle of the day, or for breakfast (we all do it). I love making this cake, my kids all love it,  I love it, and basically anyone who eats it loves it. Who can resist a hunk of sweet, dense, buttery heaven? No one! 


1 c. (2 sticks) butter, softened
2 c. Sugar
1pkg.   cream cheese, softened
1 tsp vanilla
6 eggs
2 c. Flour
1 TBSP baking powder
1 tsp salt


Cream the butter and cream cheese until fluffy. Add the sugar. Mix. Add vanilla and eggs. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt, add them and mix until combined. Pour into a greased pan. 12 c fluted or 10 inch tube pan. Bake for 1 hour in a 350 oven. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn onto a wire rack to finish cooling.  You may want to sprinkle with powdered sugar.
