3 cups granulated sugar

6 large eggs, room temperature

3 cups cake flour

2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour a 10- or 12-inch bundt pan and set aside. 

2. Using a stand mixer or electric hand mixer, add the cream cheese and butter to the mixing bowl and beat on medium speed until smooth. Add the sugar gradually and beat until fluffy. 

3. Add the eggs one at a time and beat until each egg is thoroughly mixed before adding the next egg. 

4. Add the flour all at once and mix until well combined. Add vanilla and mix thoroughly. 

5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and fill to full. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Begin checking the cake with a tester pick after it has baked for 60 minutes. The tester pick should have just a few crumbs on it when it is done.
