Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Cream cheese
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups Butter
- 1 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or casserole dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to mix evenly.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat the eggs into the butter mixture one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Mix in the milk and vanilla extract, then gradually add the dry flour mixture. Mix until a smooth batter forms.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish to create the crust layer.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the remaining sugar and continue beating until the mixture is creamy and fully combined.
Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the batter in the casserole dish, spreading it evenly into a layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Slice into squares or wedges and serve warm. Refrigerate any leftovers for up to 3 days.
