Bundt Cake
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray 10-inch Bundt pan with non-stick baking spray. Set aside.
Using an electric mixer, cream butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add cream cheese and beat until well combined, about 2 minutes. Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and salt; beat until well combined. Add eggs, two at a time; beat until combined. Add flour; beat on low just until flour starts to be incorporated. Continue folding in flour with a rubber spatula just until all flour is incorporated.
Spoon batter into prepared pan; smooth top and tap on the counter several times.
Bake until a tester inserted near the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and invert onto a cooling rack set in a foil-lined baking sheet.
