Cream Cheese Pound Cake

1 1/2 cups butter, softened
8 oz cream cheese, softened
3 cups sugar
6 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups all purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt

Beat butter and cream cheese until creamy.  Gradually add sugar,
beating 5 to 7 minutes.  Add eggs, one at a time, beating just until
yellow disappears.  Add vanilla, mixing well.  Combine flour and
salt, gradually add to butter mixture, beating at low speed just
until blended after each addition.  Pour batter into greased and
floured 10" tube pan.  Fill a 2 cup ovenproof measuring cup with
water, place in oven with tube pan.  Bake at 300 F for 1 hour 30
minutes or until wooden pick comes ut clean.  Cool in pan on wire
rack 10 minutes, remove and cool completely on wire rack.  (I find
the top gets very very brown near the end of baking, so have a "hat"
of tinfoil ready to pop on top if you see this happening.)
