1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
4 ounces cream cheese, softened

2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
2. Cream butter, sugar and cream cheese together until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time. Mix in vanilla.
3. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Blend flour mixture with butter mixture just until blended. Add buttermilk and only stir until combined; do not over mix!
