- 2 c. granulated sugar
- 1 c. (2 sticks) butter, softened
- 8 oz. cream cheese, softened

Directions
- Make the Cake: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and lightly flour a 12-cup Bundt pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In a second bowl, with mixer on medium speed, beat sugar, butter, cream cheese, and lemon, orange, and lime zest until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time, scraping side of bowl as needed and beat in vanilla. In two batches, beat in flour mixture until just combined.
- Transfer batter to Bundt pan and smooth top. Bake until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool completely on wire rack.

- Garnish with strips of candied citrus peel, if desired.
