Cream Cheese Pound Cake

Directions

1. Mix the butter, cream cheese and sugar.
2. Add eggs alternately with flour.
3. Add in vanilla and almond extracts.
4. Place the batter in a large greased (using the margarine) and floured pan in the middle of a cold oven. You can use vegetable spray or baking spray for this also, as greasing and flouring can be inconsistent. Note: The cake must be started in a cold oven!
5. Bake at 325°F (162°C) for approximately 1.5 hours. Do not open oven the door at any time until the cake is done or until roughly 5 minutes before expected in order to check for doneness (toothpick works great for this: if you see anything on the toothpick, it needs to cook for a wee bit longer).
6. After removing the cake from the oven, let it sit for 5-7 minutes before inverting the pan for removal.
