300º, 90 Minutes

 


Cream Together: 2 sticks margarine
1 stick butter
1 - 8 oz. box cream cheese
3 cups sugar
 
Alternately add: 2 eggs at a time & 1 cup flour until all ingredients are used & the batter is thick & smooth 6 eggs
3 Cups Flour
Add:
1 tsp. Vanilla
Start in a cold oven.  Bake in a greased, floured tube pan at 300 degrees for 1-1/2 hours or until done.
It gets better with age when the cream cheese flavor becomes more noticeable and it freezes well.  Any fresh fruit topping is a perfect accent, or it is great by itself.
Anecdote: I used to be a letter carrier in Palo Alto, CA and a nice graduate student's wife left me some fresh, warm Devils Food Cake in a baggie for me on a cold, damp, miserable day.  I asked for the recipe & she gave me this one too, so I'm glad to share it with everyone else :-)   Rob R.
