Tue, 11 July 2023

Ingredients  

• 600g Philadelphia cream cheese 
• 210g Caster sugar  
• 4 eggs  
• 300g Double cream 
• 1 tsp Vanilla bean paste/extract 

• 1.5 tsp salt  
• 20g Plain flour (sieved)  

*Bring all ingredients at room temperature* 

 

Method 

1. Preheat oven at 210 degrees Celsius and line a 24 cm or 9.5-inch spring form cake tin with two layers of parchment paper.
2. In a big bowl, whisk Philadelphia cream cheese and sugar together until smooth.
3. Add eggs one by one and whisk, making sure that each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
4. Mix in the cream, vanilla paste/extract and salt.

5. Using a fine sieve, add plain flour and whisk all together until smooth.
6. Place the mixture into the cake tin and tap down a few times to remove as much air as possible.
7. Bake at 210 degrees Celsius for 30mins. The top should be deep brown in colour and the cake should have a nice wiggle when it comes?out (like jello).
8. Cool down gradually in the tin at room temperature. After an hour, move to the fridge to cool completely.
9. Once completely chilled (preferably overnight), slice and enjoy.
