🧈 Ingredients

For the Cake Batter:

  • 3 large eggs
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (120 ml) vegetable oil (or melted butter)
  • ¾ cup (180 ml) milk
  • 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

For the Cream Filling:

  • 2 cups (480 ml) milk
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • ¼ cup (50 g) sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (225 g) cream cheese (or mascarpone)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cream Filling

  1. In a saucepan, whisk milk, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens (about 5–7 minutes).
  3. Remove from heat, add vanilla, and stir in cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  4. Let it cool while you prepare the cake batter.

Step 2: Make the Cake Batter

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add oil and milk, mix until combined.
  4. Sift in flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until you get a smooth batter.
  5. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan.

Step 3: Assemble the Cake

  1. Spread the cream filling evenly over the first layer of batter.
  2. Pour the remaining cake batter on top, spreading gently to cover the cream layer.
  3. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until golden and set.

Step 4: Finishing Touch

  • Let the cake cool completely.
  • Dust generously with powdered sugar before serving.

💡 Tips

  • Use room temperature ingredients for a smooth texture.
  • You can replace cream cheese with ricotta or mascarpone for a softer flavor.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge — it tastes even better chilled!
