How to Make Amanda S Cheese Pound Cake

1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or tube pan.
2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, 8 ounces softened cream cheese, and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 105 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the cake starts to brown too quickly, loosely tent the top with foil.
7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
