3. Reduce the speed to minimum and add half the flour and all the cream. Beat well, then add the rest of the flour. Beat on medium-high speed for 5 minutes.
4. Pour the batter into two buttered and floured molds 8 x 4 inch loaf pans. Set the pans on the counter to release any air bubbles.
5. Put the loaf pans in a COLD oven, then turn the oven temperature up to 350 degrees F. Bake for 75 to 80 minutes or until a wooden skewer comes out almost clean. Remove cakes and let cool for 30 minutes before removing from pans to cool completely.
