Recipe of the week - Pound cake

I made this a few weeks ago from a recipe I found on Facebook.  It turned out quite well, i must admit.  Since i cannot find Mom's pound cake recipe, i've been searching for one of my own. While it's not as good as hers, it came pretty close and i'll be baking this one again!

Cream Cheese Pound Cake

1&1/2 cups butter, softened
1 8oz package of cream cheese, softened
6 eggs
3 cups of sugar
1&1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups flour
1/8 tsp salt

Beat butter and cream cheese about 2 minutes or until creamy.  Gradually add sugar, beating 5 to 7 minutes.  Add eggs, one at a time, beating just until the yellow disappears.  Add Vanilla, mixing well. Combine flour and salt.  Gradually add to butter mixture, beating at low speed until just blended after each addition. Pour batter into a greased and floured 10" tube pan.  Bake at 300 for 1 hour and 30 minutes until a toothpick or knife inserted into the cake comes out clean.  Cool on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes.  Remove cake from pan and cool completely.

Helpful hint:  Fill an oven proof bowl or measuring cup with 2 cups of water and place in the oven while the cake is baking to help keep it moist.
