Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Butter and lightly flour a 9-inch loaf pan or a bundt pan.
- With a standing or hand mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating to blend after each addition.
- Add a third of the flour and heavy whipping cream alternately until thoroughly combined. Add the vanilla and mix until blended. Do not overmix.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared pan. If using a loaf pan, fill the pan to with a 1/4 inch of the top. You may have a little left over batter. Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until a knife inserted into center of cake comes out clean. Cool on a rack for 15 to 20 minutes before removing from pan.
