3cupssifted cake flour (sift, then measure)- see TIPS below if you don't have cake flour on hand
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray two 8x5 inch loaf pans with nonstick spray (best to use "baking spray," if you have it).
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter, cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and salt. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat after each addition. Gradually add the flour, 1 cup at a time.
Divide the batter between the prepared pans. Bake 60 to 75 minutes or until it tests done. Toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean. Let the cakes cool completely before slicing. If you'd like to freeze the cake, wrap in plastic wrap, then wrap in foil and freeze until ready for use (up to 2 months).

I live at 6,000 feet. The only modification I make to this recipe at this elevation is to use extra large eggs. If you live below that, you can follow the recipe as written. If you live above that elevation, HERE'S A WEBSITE that has some tips for cooking at higher elevations.
