Old Fashion Pound Cake

Submitted by Robin Gaines

• 2 sticks butter (softened)

• 2 sticks margarine (softened)

• 1 (8 ounce package) Philadelphia Cream Cheese (softened)

• 3 cups Sugar

• 3 cups Swan Down Cake Flour

• 6 eggs

• 3 tsp. Flavor of choice

Instructions:
Combine the first three (3) ingredients, let sit until room temperature and soft, add all sugar, add 1 cup flour and two eggs until gone. Add flavor of choice or combination of several flavors. I like to use almond and vanilla. After all ingredients are combined well, transfer into a cooking pan that has been sprayed with Baker`s Joy or Pam Baking spray. Place in a cold oven. BAKE on 300° for 1 1/2 hours or until golden brown.
