Ingredients
- 1 1/2 1 1/2 cups butter room temperature
- 1 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese room temperature
- 3 3 cups sugar
- 6 6 large eggs room temperature
- 3 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325º F. Prepare bundt or tube pan by brushing with homemade chocolate cake goop (pan release) or with butter and cocoa powder and set aside.
- With a mixer, cream together the softened butter and cream cheese with the sugar until it is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing each until it is just incorporated.
- On slow speed, stir in the flour and salt and then the cocoa powder and vanilla extract. Do not over mix.
- Spread the cake batter into the prepared bundt or tube pan.
- Bake until a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean, about 1 1/2 hours, or until the cake reaches 210º F when checked with an internal digital read thermometer.
