Method
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and generously grease a 10-12 cup Bundt pan.
- Beat the butter on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides and add the cream cheese, beating until completely smooth.
- Add the sugar and beat until combined, then add the sour cream and vanilla, beating until creamy. Scrape down the sides.
- On low speed, beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully mixed before adding the next. Avoid overmixing after adding the eggs.
- Stop the mixer and add the cake flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat on medium speed until just combined.
- Give the batter a final stir with a spatula to ensure no lumps remain.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan, banging it on the counter to release air bubbles.
- Bake for 75-95 minutes, loosely tenting with aluminum foil halfway through. Use a toothpick to test for doneness.
- Allow the cake to cool for 2 hours in the pan, then invert onto a wire rack or serving dish and cool completely.
- Slice and serve with optional toppings like whipped cream and berries. Store leftovers tightly covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
