Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease only the bottom of the cake pan.
Cream the softened butter, cream cheese, and sugar until light and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes.
Mix in vanilla extract and salt on low speed until combined.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Gradually incorporate sifted cake flour, mixing on low until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and gently tap to eliminate air bubbles.
Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve topped with whipped cream and fresh berries.
