Instructions

Prepare your bundt pan by greasing and flouring it. Do not preheat the oven yet.
In a large bowl, use a mixer to cream together shortening, butter, cream cheese, and peanut butter until smooth. Gradually mix in sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the creamed mixture along with vanilla extract, blending thoroughly.
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and place in a cold oven. Bake at 325°F for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow the cake to rest for about 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving platter.
