INSTRUCTIONS
Cream Cheese Pound Cake (from the Time-Life series The Good Cook)

8 oz. cream cheese, softened
3 sticks salted butter, softened (12 ounces)
3 cups sugar (21 ounces)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
6 large eggs
3 cups sifted flour (13.5 ounces)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a 10inch tube pan.

Cream butter and cream cheese. Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour.

Pour into prepared pan and bake for 90 minutes. Cool 5 minutes in the pan and remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

To make a marble pound cake, pour 3/4 of the batter into the prepared pan. Blend 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa and 2 tblsp. melted butter into the remaining 1/4 batter. Spoon chocolate batter on top of vanilla batter and swirl in with a knife.

This recipe also works in two 9 x 5 pyrex loaf pans. And if you only want one loaf shaped pound cake, the recipe halves perfectly, even the marblizing part. Same baking time in the loaf pans, but you may want to start checking around 80 minutes with your toothpick.
