  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

  9. For the frosting, beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
  10. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until fluffy.
  11. Once cake is completely cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the bundt cake.
