Ingredients are as follows:
 
1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, room temperature
1 1/2 C butter, softened
3 C white sugar
6 eggs
3 C all-purpose flour
2 tsp. vanilla extract
 
Directions:
 
Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees.  Grease a bundt pan or a 10 inch tube pan.
 
Cream together the cream cheese and butter until smooth.
 
 
Add the sugar slowly and continue to mix until fluffy. (I usually mix mine for around five minutes so the sugar is thoroughly mixed, resulting in a nice fluffy mixture.)
 
 
Add the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each one.
 
 
Stir in the flour (by hand) until completely incorporated.
 
 
Stir in the vanilla and pour into the prepared pan.
