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
- 5 ounces cream cheese
- 0.25 cups butter
- 0.25 cups butter-flavored vegetable shortening
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
