Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch or two round cake pans.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add softened cream cheese and mix until smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pans and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese and butter are softened to room temperature for best texture.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can lead to a dense cake.
- Check the cake with a toothpick before removing it from the oven to avoid overbaking.
