Time 1h45m

Yield Makes two 9-inch loaves

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pans
3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
2 cups sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter two standard 9-by 5-inch loaf pans. Line with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on long sides.
  • Sift flour and salt into a medium bowl. In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter and cream cheese on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes.
