Pound Cake

Begin by beating the butter on low speed and add the cream cheese after couple of minutes

I kept the speed on low and continued until it was blended well

While beating, add sugar, vanilla and salt and beat on medium speed for 5mins until it is light and fluffy

Next, add the eggs one at a time and continue beating

Now its time for the dry ingredients, turn the speed to low, and add the flour

Beat the batter until well blended and smooth

Once you have accomplished this, its time to bake

Butter your cake pan well

If you have a 10 inch cake pan, pour it all in, if not divide the quantity and bake

Shake pan gently to distribute the batter

Add the sliced almonds on top and its time for the oven

Bake the cake in a 300F oven for 1hr 15mins or until the cake is done

Transfer the pound cake to a cooling rack for 10mins before removing from pans and serving
