Cream Cheese Pound Cake


From my cousin Krissy's food blog

1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) butter, room temperature
1 block (8 oz) cream cheese, room temperature
3 cups sugar
1 tsp almond extract
1 tsp vanilla extract
6 eggs
3 cups cake flour

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Prepare your pan - spray/grease/butter (I used spray and flour, and I had problems with it sticking, so I'll be using the spray on it's own and see how it fares).
Cream together the butter, cream cheese and sugar until it's light. (This is where I was telling you it needs to go for 5-7 minutes.) Add the vanilla and almond extracts. Add flour and eggs alternately, beginning and ending with flour. Pour batter into the prepared pan(s).
Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes. (or until a toothpick comes out clean....)
