Hello Cake Fans!

I think I've found my perfect go-to and delicious cake recipe! It's cream cheese pound cake. I've made it before and I know it's super yummy but I forgot about how EASY it is to make! I love baking but HATE/LOATHE/DETEST finicky recipes that you have to do 4 things all at once and then spend 10 min putting them together and washing bowls, etc. This one is simple! So here ya go if you want to give it a try:

1 1/2 c butter, room temp
8oz pkg cream cheese, room temp
Mix these 2 until smooth & creamy.
3 c white sugar (it is pound cake afterall) - add to butt/cc mix and whip until light & fluffy (5min)
3 eggs, add seperately and beat until yellow gone before adding next
1 1/2 tbsp vanilla - mix well
3 c flour + 1/8 tsp salt - add to wet mixture while blending on low speed until all incorporated & smooth.

Put in prepared  pan (I use PAM & parchment paper for bottom) and bake at 300 for 90min (I'll check mine in an hour and let you know if I've changed the time) - oh and IN the oven with the cake, put a oven-safe bowl of water (I used my 4c pyrex cup and half-filled it).

Pictures of the weekend's cakes are coming! Ben 10 is on its way to the party! Hope it's a hit! ipod touch is being completed tonight once I get some Vitamin D & Malibu into me!

Cheers!
