Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and lightly flour a 10-inch Bundt pan or tube pan, making sure no spots are left uncovered. Set it aside.
  • Using a stand mixer or a hand mixer, cream the butter, vegetable oil, and cream cheese on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. This typically takes about 3-5 minutes.
  • Gradually add the granulated sugar, half a cup at a time, beating well after each addition. You want the sugar to dissolve into the mixture and turn creamy and light.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each egg. Scrape down the bowl as needed to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
  • Reduce the mixer speed to low. Gradually add the sifted cake flour and salt, alternating with the vanilla extract. Start and end with the flour. Mix just until combined; avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to release any air bubbles.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the thickest part of the cake comes out clean.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 15-20 minutes. Carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before sprinkling powdered sugar on top for garnish. Slice and enjoy!
