This cake is very popular in the East Coast. Natale's Bakery in New Jersey is famous for this cake. I made a small cake but this recipe can be easily doubled and baked in a 12 cup tube or Bundt pan. The powdered sugar is a must on this cake.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 5 ounces cream cheese, softened

  • 1/4 cup butter, softened

  • 1/4 cup butter-flavored vegetable shortening

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar, or as needed

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a tube or Bundt pan and set aside.

  2. Beat butter, cream cheese, and shortening together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.

  3. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Beat flour mixture into cream cheese mixture and mix until well combined.

  4. Beat in 1 egg. Add 1/2 cup sugar; mix until combined. Repeat with second egg and remaining sugar; beat in last egg. Beat in vanilla extract. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 38 to 45 minutes.

  6. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Remove cake from pan and cool completely. When cake is completely cool, sift powdered sugar in a thick layer over the whole cake.
