CREAM CHEESE CAKE

If you’ve been following our recipes for very long then you’re probably already aware that we are big cream cheese fans. It’s rich, it’s creamy, and it adds a sinfully delicious flavor to so many different dishes. We’ve made plenty of baked goods with cream cheese in the past, but never a light and airy cake that included it in the batter. Once the idea hit, I knew I had to start testing it out immediately. A few trials later, I present to you the ultimate Cream Cheese Cake.
