Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 cups white sugar
  • 1 ½ cups butter softened
  • 6 eggs at room temperature
  • 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour sifted
  • ½ cup confectioners' sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch fluted tube pan (such as a Bundt).
  • Beat sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in cream cheese and vanilla. Mix in flour, about ½ cup at a time, until batter is smooth and velvety. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown, about 1 ½ hours.
