This is VERY important: the cream cheese, eggs and butter should be at room temperature. You could leave them in the counter over night or at least for about 4 hours...

Warming up the butter and cream cheese in the microwave won't work :/ Patience and preparation is key :)

Preheat oven at 350oF

Butter and cream cheese at room temperature

Eggs

Sugar

Flour

Baking powder and my personal favorite, vanilla paste, but you could use vanilla extract

Beat sugar, butter and cream cheese for about 5 minutes

Until really fluffy

Add vanilla and baking powder

Add eggs

Beat at medium speed for about a minute. Add flour and mix until well combined

I prefer to use the spray because it covers evenly, but you could butter and flour your pan

Tap in the counter to get rid or any air bubbles

Ready for the oven

Set the timer for one hour. Check your cake at about 50 minutes in case your oven cooking temperature varies

Test with a skewer to check that it cook throughly

All ready!

Hope you like it :)
