How to Make Southern Living's Cream Cheese Pound Cake
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or tube pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and cream cheese using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the sugar, beating for 5 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Place a heatproof bowl or pan containing 2 cups of water on the oven rack during baking to create a humid environment that will promote even baking and prevent drying.
- Bake for 1 hour and 45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the cake starts browning too much, loosely tent the top with foil during the last 30 minutes.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
