Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Then grease and flour a 10-12 cup bundt pan.
Use a hand held mixer or stand up mixer, beat together the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
Scrape down the sides of the bowls and then add in the sugar and beat for approximately 3-4 more minutes until well combined. Then on a low speed, add in the eggs one at a time until all of the eggs have been added.
Then mix in the vanilla extract, baking powder and salt.
Add in the flour to the bowl gradually and mix on medium speed until just combined. Be careful not to over mix the batter.
Then pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 75-90 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the cake at least 1 inch from the edge of the pan comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 20-30 minutes to invert the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice, serve and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure that all the ingredients are at room temperature before preparing the cake.

Ensure that you measure the flour by spooning the flour into the measuring cup (not scooping the flour).

Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
