Cream together well, the sugar, cream cheese, butter and vanilla extract. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift together the all-purpose flour, cake flour and baking powder. Gently fold dry ingredients into the creamed mixture until the flour is fully incorporated. Bake in well greased and floured bundt pan or two parchment lined loaf pans at 325 degrees F for about 50-60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack. Frost with Vanilla Cream Cheese Glaze. TO MAKE THE VANILLA CREAM CHEESE GLAZE Beat all ingredients together very well in an electric mixer until very smooth. Add more or less milk to get the glaze to the proper consistency which should be relatively thick but not quite pourable. Spoon and swirl the glaze on top of the cake and let it drip down naturally.
