👩🍳 How to Make Cream Cheese Cake
Step 1: Prep the Oven
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or tube pan, or line a loaf pan if preferred.
Step 2: Cream the Butter and Cheese
In a large bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy. This can take 2–3 minutes with a hand or stand mixer.
Step 3: Add Sugar and Eggs
Gradually add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy—about 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla.
Step 4: Add Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients until fully incorporated. Don’t overmix.
Step 5: Bake
Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 75–85 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Step 6: Glaze (Optional)
Once fully cooled, drizzle with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar, milk or lemon juice, and a splash of vanilla.
