Quick and Creamy Oven-Baked Baseless Cream Cake

Ingredients:

• 500g cream cheese (or full-fat yogurt if cream cheese is unavailable) for a rich, creamy texture
• 4 large eggs, well beaten and combined with oil
• 1 cup granulated sugar for sweetness
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for depth and flavor
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour to add texture without the need for kneading
• 1/2 cup heavy cream for added richness
• A pinch of salt to enhance the flavor

Preparation:

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature by the time your cake is ready for baking.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, blend the cream cheese, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, flour, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt. Use an electric mixer or whisk to combine the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
3. Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 23 cm (9-inch) baking dish with oil or non-stick spray. For easier removal, you may also line the bottom with parchment paper.
4. Pour and Smooth: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to even out the surface.
5. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the cake is set and the top is golden brown. Since oven temperatures can vary, check around the 40-minute mark. The center should jiggle slightly when you gently shake the dish, indicating that the cake is done.
6. Cool and Chill: Allow the cake to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This chilling period enhances the cake’s creaminess and makes it easier to slice.
7. Serve: Before serving, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with fruit puree for an elegant touch. For added indulgence, consider topping with a dollop of whipped cream or fresh fruit.

Final Touch:

This simple yet delectable cake showcases a creamy texture and light flavor. Its ease of preparation demonstrates that a rich and delicious dessert doesn’t require complicated ingredients or techniques.

Enjoy!
