When making the batter, you can use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or a hand mixer as well. Add the butter and cream cheese in the stand mixer bowl together with sugar, then turn the mixer on and cream them together until light and fluffy and very well combined.
Turn the mixer on low and add 6 eggs one at a time, scraping down teh bowl whenever necessary, add one tablespoon of vanilla extract for flavour and mix it on low. Because this is a vanilla cake, you will need vanilla bean, scrape the seeds out, add to the batter and make sure it is well mixed before adding the dry ingredients.
With the mixer on low speed, you will add a combination of flour and a teaspoon of salt slowly, and you can finish off by hand using a spatula. For the pan, you will need regular loaf pans.
