FIONA’S WHOLE WHEAT CREAM CHEESE CARDAMOM POUNDCAKE



3 sticks of butter
8 oz cream cheese
3 c sugar
½ t vanilla
1 ½ t cardamom
½ t salt
6 eggs
2 ½ c whole wheat flour

Bring butter, cream cheese and eggs to room temperature. Cream butter, cheese and sugar in an electric mixer until fluffy.  Add salt, vanilla and cardamom and beat very well.  Add eggs, one at a time, beating very well after each.  Add flour all at once and beat well again.  (I can still hear Fran saying “the more you beat it the better it is”.)


Pour into a buttered tube pan and bake at 350 for 1 ½ hours.  Check after 1 ¼ just in case. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.  Let cool, remove from pan and finish cooling on a wire rack.
