  Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, at room temperature
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 6 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  • Do not preheat the oven. Grease and flour the bottom, sides and tube of a 9-inch tube cake pan.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until smooth. 
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition, but do not overbeat. 
  • Set the mixer on slow speed and stir in the flour and cream alternately, beginning and ending with the flour. Add the vanilla and stir well.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and put the cake in a cold oven. 
  • Set the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
  •  Begin timing now and bake the cake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. 
  • Test of doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center of the cake. The toothpick should be clean when it is removed. 
  • Cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to continue cooling.
