For the cake:
- 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 2½ cups (500 g) granulated sugar

👩🍳 Instructions
- Prepare:
Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan. - Cream butter & cream cheese:
Beat the butter and cream cheese together until smooth and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes. - Add sugar:
Gradually beat in the sugar until light and creamy. - Add eggs:
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla. - Combine dry ingredients:
Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. - Make the batter:
Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips if using. - Bake:
Pour into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top. Bake for 70–80 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. - Cool:
Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then turn it onto a wire rack and cool completely.
