Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Unsalted butter Room temperature
  • 8 oz Cream cheese Softened
  • 2 ½ cups Granulated sugar Fine texture preferred
  • 5 large Eggs Room temperature
  • 2 ½ cups All-purpose flour Sifted
  • 1 tsp Baking powder Helps slight lift
  • ½ tsp Salt Enhances flavor
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract Pure vanilla preferred
  • 2 tbsp Milk Optional for smoother batter

Equipment

  • 1 Stand mixer / Hand mixer For creaming
  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Loaf pan or Bundt pan Greased properly
  • 1 Spatula For folding
  • 1 Cooling rack Prevent soggy bottom

Method
 

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour your baking pan well.
Step 2: Cream Butter and Cream Cheese
  1. In a mixing bowl, beat butter and cream cheese together until smooth and fluffy (about 3–4 minutes).
  2. This step is crucial for that signature smooth texture.
Step 3: Add Sugar
  1. Gradually add sugar while mixing. Beat until light and creamy.
  2. Do not rush this step — proper creaming makes a big difference.
Step 4: Add Eggs
  1. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  2. Scrape down the bowl sides.
Step 5: Add Dry Ingredients
  1. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Slowly add dry mixture to the batter. Mix on low speed.
  3. Add vanilla and milk (if using).
  4. Do not overmix.
Step 6: Bake
  1. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  2. Bake for 70–80 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 7: Cool Properly
  1. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
  2. Then transfer to a cooling rack and allow it to cool completely.
  3. This prevents sogginess.

Notes

It can be eaten as warm with a cup of coffee or as a dessert with fresh berries and whipped cream.
