Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the 1/2 cup softened butter and 1/2 cup sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg and 1 tsp vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture.
- Continue beating until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the 1 cup self-raising flour and 1 tbsp dry cocoa powder to remove any lumps.
- Gradually add the flour-cocoa mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the 1/4 cup milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients.
- Mix until just combined, ensuring not to overmix the batter.
- In a small bowl, beat the 1/2 cup cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
- Dollop the softened cream cheese over the first layer of batter and spread evenly.
- Pour the remaining batter over the cream cheese layer and spread it to cover completely.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- The cake should be springy to the touch.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Then remove it from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice and serve as desired.
Tips:
- Ensure your butter and cream cheese are at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother batter.
- Sift the dry ingredients (flour and cocoa powder) to avoid lumps and to incorporate air, resulting in a lighter cake.
- Don't overmix the batter once you add the flour, as this can lead to a denser cake.
- Use a toothpick to check the cake's doneness; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs, not wet batter.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle some powdered sugar or cocoa powder on top of the cake before serving.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
And there you have it, a luscious Chocolate Cream Cheese Cake that’s sure to impress anyone who takes a bite. Serve it as the perfect end to a meal or enjoy it with a cup of coffee for an afternoon pick-me-up. Share this delicious creation with friends and family, and watch it disappear in no time!
