Ingredients
450g cream cheese
230g heavy cream (thickened cream)
90g caster sugar, 10g lemon juice
3 large eggs
12g cake flour
5g vanilla extract
Directions
- Take the cream cheese out of the fridge 30 minutes in advance to soften it;
- Line the cake tin with baking paper. The baking paper should be approx. 2 cm higher than the baking tin. If you only have small sized baking paper, stack 2 sheets together and put them in the tin;
- After the cream cheese has softened, place it in a bowl.
- Beat at low speed with an electric beater/mixer;
- Then, beat on medium speed until it becomes very smooth;
- Add in caster sugar and continue to beat;
- Beat until you can no longer feel the graininess of sugar;
- Add one egg at a time;
- Beat evenly at a medium speed to incorporate the egg;
- Then, add the next egg;
- Add the third egg;
- Beat until the batter is fine and without any lumps;
- Now, we’re going to prepare the thickened cream mixture. Sift the cake flour into another bowl.
- Pour half of the thickened cream into the bowl and mix it with the cake flour.
- Pour in the remaining thickened cream and stir well;
- Add in vanilla extract;
- Pour in the lemon juice, then stir the mixture until smooth;
- Pour the thickened cream mixture into the cream cheese mixture;
- Stir the mixture thoroughly until smooth;
- Run the mixture through a sieve;
- Then pour the mixture into the cake tin;
- Tap the cake tin against the table to remove some bubbles;
- Place the cake tin in an oven that has been preheated to 210ºC for 40-45 mins. Put the tin in the middle of the oven so the cake can bake evenly;
- The freshly baked cake is still jiggly;
- The cake will shrink a little after cooling, Store in the fridge for 4 – 6hrs. The cake tastes better after cooling in the fridge.
