  • Four sticks butter,
  • Four cups sugar,
  • Four cups flour (cake or all purpose),
  • eight large eggs,
  • eight oz cream cheese,
  • Flavoring of choice like vanilla or almond or cherry

How to Make It

  1. I leave my cream cheese, butter and eggs out to reach room temp.
  2. Cream butter, cream cheese and sugar until smooth, add eggs one or two at a time, then add flour one cup at a time. Last, add your flavoring. I used about 2 tsp each of vanilla and banana in this one! YUM! Grease and flour your 10' angel food pan and pour in batter.
  3. Make sure you lick the beater or your cake will not rise! LOL!
  4. smile emoticon Start out with a cold oven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  5. Bake on 300 degree for 1 hour and 15 minutes, increase heat to 325 and bake another 30 minutes (if your cake is browning too fast, you may want to tent the top with foil.)
  6. Give it the tooth pick test in the middle. If you insert and cake is not done (still wet), allow to bake a little longer until skewer can be inserted and comes out dry.
  7. Allow to cool a few minutes before removing from pan.
