Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.25 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 300F (150C) and thoroughly grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan. Tap out excess flour and set aside.

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, stirring until completely combined. Beat for another minute.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour 35 minutes - 1 hour 40 minutes.
  • Allow cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting onto a cooling rack.
  • Allow to cool before serving, optionally dress with powdered sugar, vanilla glaze, chocolate ganache or whipped cream and fresh berries.

Notes

This pound cake can be made with all-purpose flour instead of cake flour for better texture. It can be stored at room temperature for up to 5 days, or frozen for several months.
