* 1 cup butter, room temperature
* 1/2 cup shortening
* 3 cups granulated sugar
* 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, room temperature
* 3 cups all-purpose flour, sifted before measuring
* 6 eggs
* 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
* 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and shortening with an electric hand-held
mixer on medium speed, until light. Gradually beat in the sugar. Beat in cream
cheese. Add flour, alternating with the eggs, beginning and ending with flour.
Stir in vanilla and almond extracts. Pour batter into a generously greased and
floured 10-inch tube pan. Bake at 325° for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, until a
wooden pick comes out clean when inserted in the center. Let cool in pan for 10
minutes, then remove to a rack to cool completely.
