Ingredients
- 3/4 cups unsalted butter softened to room temperature (3/4 cups = 1 1/2 sticks)
- 1 (4 oz) package cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 3 large egg yolks

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and grease a loaf pan with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, using your hand mixer, cream butter and cream cheese together until fluffy, about a minute.
- Pour in sugar, eggs, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
- Beat until combined.
- Add in flour, cornstarch, and salt, and mix until *JUST* combined.
- Pour into prepared pan and bake until an inserted toothpick comes out *ALMOST* clean (it's ok if a little sticks), about 1 hour 20 minutes - 1 hour 45 minutes.*
- Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then remove from pan, place on cooling rack, and continue cooling until ready to serve!
- Slice and serve with your choice of toppings! **Pictured: whipped cream, apple slices, caramel, and pecans**

Notes
*Cook time greatly varies on your oven temperature (oven temperatures aren't all the same) and how big your loaf pan is, so I'd recommend checking every 10 minutes starting at 1 hour 20 minutes. That being said with my oven and my pan, 1 hour 40 minutes was perfect!
