Number Of Ingredients 7

3 sticks butter, softened
1 package cream cheese, softened
3 cups sugar
3 cups cake flour (Swans Down is best)
6 eggs
1 tablespoon your favorite flavor extract
ALL INGREDIENTS SHOULD BE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE

Steps:

DO NOT PRE-HEAT OVEN. CAKE IS TO BE STARTED IN A COLD OVEN. Grease and flour a Bundt pan, or a tube pan. Cream butter and cream cheese together, and mix until smooth. Gradually add sugar to the butter mixture, continue beating until smooth and creamy. Add flour, a little bit at a time, until mixture is well blended. Crack eggs, one at a time, in separate bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, to the cake mixture. IMPORTANT: Make sure each egg is well blended into the mixture before adding the next egg. Add extract, and blend until well mixed. Pour batter into prepared pan, and place into oven. Set oven to 325, and bake for approximately 90 minutes, or until an inserted knife comes out clean. Allow cake to cool for about 10 minutes before inverting pan. Allow cake to cool completely before topping.
