Time 1h45m

Yield Makes 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 bar (8 ounces) cream cheese, room temperature
3 cups sugar
6 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
Nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. With an electric mixer, beat butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar; beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla. With mixer on low, add flour and salt in two additions, beating until just combined.
  • Generously coat two 8 1/2-by-4 1/2- by-2 1/2-inch loaf pans (1 1/2 quarts each) with cooking spray; immediately pour in batter (pan will seem full). Tap pans on work surface to eliminate any large air bubbles.
  • Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out almost clean, 60 to 75 minutes (if the tops begin to brown too quickly, tent with aluminum foil).
  • Cool 10 minutes in the pan. Turn out the cakes; cool completely, with top sides up, on a wire rack.

This cake is so delicious and moist. I love that it's made with cream cheese, which gives it a bit of a tangy flavor. The frosting is also perfect, not too sweet and not too runny.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The cake was a bit dry and the frosting was too runny. I'll definitely try again next time, but I might make some adjustments to the recipe.

I love that this recipe uses sour cream. It makes the cake so moist and flavorful. I also like that the frosting is made with cream cheese, which gives it a bit of a tangy flavor.

I was so excited to try this recipe, but unfortunately it didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The cake was a bit dry and the frosting was too sweet. I think I might have overcooked the cake, so I'll try again next time.
