Pound Cake

Having a stress fracture and being a senior who's pretty much checked out of school, I now have more time on my hands...great!
So instead of memorizing everyone's address from the school phone book or stalking my facebook minifeed, I instead have found different excuses to bake.
So tonight is a track team dinner so obviously I need to bake!

How about a nice pound cake? A little change from the typical store-bought cookies and brownies that are usually served, but its still so simple to make.

Recipe:
Ingredients:
3 sticks of butter
8 oz package of cream cheese
3 cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
6 eggs
3 cups flour


Directions:
Preheat the oven to 325 F.

Run your knife along the edge to
make it easier to remove the cake.

Cream together the butter and cream cheese well and then add the sugar. Once this is well mixed, add the salt and vanilla, and then add each of the 6 eggs one at a time. Once all these ingredients are mixed together, slowly add in the flour.
Bake for 1 1/2 hours, and do not over-bake.
(Set your clock timer for a little earlier to check to prevent over-baking from occurring. Insert a toothpick to check to see if comes out clean, and is ready.)

Once the batter is homogenous, pour it into a well-greased 10 tube pan.

Sift powdered sugar on top to add a finishing touch.
