Cream Cheese Pound Cake

Ingredients

3/4 lb butter
3 c sugar
1/2 lb cream cheese
6 eggs
3 c cake flour
1/4 t salt
1 1/2 t almond extract
1 t vanilla extract

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees F. Cream the butter, sugar and cheese together until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add salt, vanilla and almond extract. Beat well. Add eggs, one at a time, blending well after each. Stir in flour. Don't be vigorous; mix it just enough to incorporate the flour. Spoon into a greased tube pan. Bake in preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours. Cool for 15-20 minutes, then invert the cake onto a serving dish and remove the tube pan. If you wait too long, it will stick.
