Recipe for "pound-cake-2"

NAME

     POUND-CAKE-2 - A pound cake made with cream cheese
     I got this recipe  from  Annette  Hall  at  Computer  System
     Resources,  in  Georgia. (annette@gacsr.UUCP). She posted it
     to net.cooks, claiming that it's the best pound cake  you'll
     ever taste. She's right!

INGREDIENTS (One large cake)

     350 g     butter
     600 g     granulated sugar
     220 g     cream cheese
     6         eggs (large)
     270 g     cake flour sifted
     1 ml      salt
     7.5 ml    almond extract
     5 ml      vanilla extract

PROCEDURE

          (1)  Pre-heat oven to 160 deg. C.
          (2)  Cream the butter, sugar, and cheese together until
               the mixture is light and fluffy.
          (3)  Add salt, vanilla, and almond extract. Beat well.
          (4)  Add eggs, one at a time, blending well after each.
          (5)  Stir in flour. Don't  be  vigorous;  mix  it  just
               enough to incorporate the flour.
          (6)  Spoon into a greased tube pan.  Bake in  preheated
               oven for 11/2 hours.
          (7)  Cool for 15-20 minutes, then invert the cake  onto
               a  serving  dish  and remove the tube pan.  If you
               wait too long, it will stick.
