Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 Egg
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold cubed butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter will be thick.
Spread half of the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan.
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
Spread the cream cheese mixture over the first layer of batter. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Dollop the remaining cake batter over the cheese layer and gently spread it to cover as much as possible. It's okay if it doesn’t fully cover the cheese layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the cake (avoiding the cheese layer) comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
