Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Combine the dry ingredients: flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a bowl.
In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or a large bowl with an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, scraping the bowl at least once.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Gradually mix in one-third of the flour mixture, followed by one-third of the milk. Repeat the process until all ingredients are combined.
Spread the batter evenly into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan.

Notes

For a richer flavor, let the butter soften at room temperature before mixing.
Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier blending into the batter.
Feel free to add a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top before serving for extra sweetness.
