3 cups (12 oz) cake
flour
1 tsp salt
4 large eggs plus 2
large yolks, room temperature
¼ cup milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups (21 oz) sugar
3 sticks unsalted
butter, softened
6 oz cream cheese,
softened
Adjust the oven rack to
middle position and preheat your oven to 300˚. Grease and flour a 12 cup bundt
pan. (Reader, we used baking spray (made with flour) and it worked flawlessly.)
Combine flour and salt in a bowl. Whisk eggs, yolks, milk and vanilla in a 2
cup liquid measuring cup.
Using a stand mixer
fitted with a paddle, beat sugar, butter, and cream cheese on medium high until
pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and very slowly add
the egg mixture until incorporated (batter may look a bit curdled). Add flour
mixture in 3 additions, scraping down the bowl as needed. Give the batter a
final stir by hand.
Scrape the batter into
the prepared pan and gently tap it on the counter to release any air bubbles. Bake
until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 80 to 90
minutes. Rotate the pan halfway in the baking time. Cool the pan on a wire rack
for 15 minutes only. Remove the cake from the pan and let cool completely,
about 2 hours. The cake can be wrapped with plastic and held at room
temperature for 3 days.
