Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy.
Gradually add the granulated sugar and beat until smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the creamed mixture, mixing until just combined.
Stir in the vanilla extract until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack.
Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Serve plain or with toppings of your choice.

Use high-quality cream cheese and butter to achieve the best flavor and texture. Be careful not to overmix the batter when adding dry ingredients.
