Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 6-cup tube pan or small Bundt pan thoroughly and set aside. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese, butter, and shortening together until light and fluffy. This should take approximately 5 minutes, ensuring a smooth and airy base.

03

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of the leavening agent. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Gradually beat the flour mixture into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a tough cake. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Beat in one egg at a time, incorporating each fully before adding the next. After all eggs are added, gradually add the granulated sugar, mixing until well combined. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 38 to 45 minutes. The cake should be golden brown and spring back lightly when touched.

08

Step

Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes before inverting it onto the rack to cool completely. (15 minutes)

09

Step

Once the cake is completely cool, dust generously with confectioners' sugar for an elegant finishing touch.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a hint of lemon or almond extract. A citrus zest would also pair well.
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for optimal emulsification and a smoother batter.
To prevent sticking, especially with intricate Bundt pans, grease and flour the pan thoroughly or use a baking spray with flour.
If the top of the cake begins to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.

    I had some issues with the cake sticking to the pan even after greasing and flouring. Next time, I will use parchment paper.
