Equipment
- Big bowl
- Rubber spatula
- Whisker
Ingredients
- 5 sticks of butter
- 5 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
- 5 cups of all-purpose flour
- 12 ounces Philadelphia Cream Cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 10 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing until just combined.
- In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add this to the batter and mix until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 30 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a more intense flavor, use one teaspoon of lemon or orange zest in the batter.
- Top with a simple cream cheese glaze for an extra touch of sweetness. Just combine together 4 ounces (113 grams) of softened cream cheese, ½ cup (60 grams) of powdered sugar, and 1-2 tablespoons (15-30 ml) of milk. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
- Add a few tablespoons of chopped nuts or dried fruit to the batter for added texture and flavor.
- For a richer version, replace half of the butter with vegetable shortening.
