Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cups sugar

Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a ten-inch tube pan.

Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.

Cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, and sugar using a mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
-
Add the eggs to the creamed mixture one at a time, ensuring each egg is well incorporated before adding the next.
-
Mix in the vanilla extract, blending it well with the batter.

Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the batter. Beat the mixture just until the dry ingredients are incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture of the cake.

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
