Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

How to Make Cheesy Sweet Dessert Cake

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. While the cake is cooling, prepare the cheesy topping. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese until well combined.
9. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheese mixture.
10. Once the cake has cooled, spread the cheesy topping evenly over the top. Drizzle with additional heavy cream if desired.
11. Slice and serve your Cheesy Sweet Dessert Cake chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting for a smoother batter.
• Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake fluffy.
• For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of lemon juice to the cheese mixture.

Easy Variations

• Swap the mozzarella for cheddar cheese for a sharper flavor.
• Add a layer of fresh fruit, such as berries or sliced peaches, between the cake and the cheese topping.
• Experiment with flavored extracts, like almond or coconut, to enhance the cake’s flavor.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast in temperature and flavor.
• Fresh fruit compote to add a touch of acidity and brightness.
• A sprinkle of toasted nuts for added crunch.
