Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour sifted
  • 1 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the Topping
  • 1 cup powdered sugar for dusting
  • 1 cup fresh berries optional, for serving

Method
 

Prepare the Batter
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
  3. Gradually add the granulated sugar, continuing to beat until well combined.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Bake the Cake
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 65-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
  4. Carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the Cake
  1. Once the cake is completely cool, dust the top with powdered sugar.
  2. Serve slices with fresh berries if desired.
