Ingredients
Cake Batter Makes one 9 x 5 inch loaf or 10-inch bundt cake pan
Dry ingredients: In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. And set aside.
2½ cups All-purpose flour, 1 tsp Baking powder, ½ tsp Salt
Wet ingredients: In the bowl of a stand mixer, with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, cream cheese, and sugar until light and fluffy. Next, add the eggs, one at a time. Then, add the vanilla extract.
6 oz Cream cheese, ¾ cup Unsalted butter, 2 cup White sugar, 4 large Eggs, 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Dry to wet: Followed by the flour and buttermilk in three batches. Scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure a smooth batter. Pour into the prepared bundt pan. Spread evenly with a spatula. Tap a few times to remove any air pockets.
½ cup Buttermilk
Bake for 40 to 45 mins until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes then invert on a cooling rack and cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Vanilla glaze (optional): In a bowl, combine the powdered sugar with milk and other flavorings. Stir until you have a thick pouring consistency. Pour over cooled cake (warm cake will melt the glaze).
8 oz Powdered sugar, 3 tbsp Milk , 1 tsp Vanilla extract, ½ tsp Lemon zest, ½ tsp Orange zest
