Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and generously grease and flour a 10- to 12-cup Bundt pan, making sure to cover all the crevices.
In a large mixing bowl, using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the softened butter and cream cheese together on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add the sugar, about 1/3 at a time, and continue mixing on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
Reduce the mixer speed to low. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 85-90 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the Bundt pan from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes.
Carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely before transferring to a serving plate.
If desired, dust the top of the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving. Slice and enjoy!
