Now, to start preparing this pound cake, in a mixing bowl combine butter, and cream cheese. Beat these two ingredients together until they are a creamy texture.
Add eggs and sugar to the mixing bowl, and continue bidding until they are combined.
Next, add in the all-purpose flour a little at a time and beat gently until combined.
Finally, and vanilla extract and salt, stir until mixed in.
Prepare your Bundt pan by spraying all parts of the pan with cooking spray. Add approximately 1 tablespoon of flour to the pan, and gently toss so that the entire pan is coated in the light coating of flour.
Pour the Bundt cake batter into your Bundt pan and use a rubber spatula to smooth the batter evenly throughout the pan. Place your cake in a cold oven.
When the cake is added to the oven, turn the oven on to 300°F and bake the cake for approximately 1½ hours, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
When the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and allow it to set for approximately 10 minutes. After allowing it to set for a few minutes, place your serving platter on top of your cake pan.
Gently flip the cake over and allow it to rest for another 5 to 10 minutes. After it has set, gently remove the Bundt pan from on top of the cake.
You are now left with your delicious Miss Dot poundcake that is ready to serve and enjoy. You can serve this cake both warm or after it has cooled.
If desired you can add frosting, a dusting of powdered sugar, or any other toppings you desire to your pound cake.
