Cream Cheese Cake

Cream Cheese Cake Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups (340g) unsalted butter, softened

  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened

  • 3 cups (600g) granulated sugar

  • 6 large eggs, room temperature

  • 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ½ teaspoon almond extract (optional)

  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

Set oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt or tube pan.

2. Cream Butter and Cream Cheese

In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar and beat until fluffy (about 3–4 minutes).

3. Add Eggs and Flavoring

Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla (and almond extract if using).

4. Add Flour and Salt

Gently fold in flour and salt until just combined. Do not overmix.

5. Bake

Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 70–80 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

6. Cool and Serve

Cool in the pan 15 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack. Serve plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or with fruit sauce.

Tips

  • Use room-temperature ingredients for a smooth batter.

  • Do not open the oven early — this cake needs consistent heat to rise.

  • Perfect for glazing with lemon icing or serving with fresh berries.
