Ingredients

  • 3 sticks unsalted butter room temperature
  • 8 oz (230g) cream cheese room temperature
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla. With the mixer on low, add the flour and salt in two additions, beating until just combined.
  2. Generously coat two 8½-by-4½-by-2½-inch (21 cm by 11 cm by 6 cm) loaf pans (1½ quarts each) with cooking spray. Immediately pour in the batter (the pans will seem full). Tap the pans on the work surface to eliminate any large air bubbles.
  3. "Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out almost clean, about 60 to 75 minutes. If the tops begin to brown too quickly, tent them with aluminum foil.
  4. Cool the cakes in the pan for 10 minutes. Turn them out and cool completely, with the tops facing up, on a wire rack.
