Butter Cake with Cream Cheese Filling

Being at my mum's for the weekend, naturally I'll have loads of free time haha. No housework of my own to do.

Since my sister and husband were coming, I decided to bake something to share the fats around.

I had cream cheese and butter to use, and this was one of the recent crazes among baking bloggers, the butter chocolate cheese cake.

But my sister didn't want a chocolate version hence, just butter cake with cream cheese filling or centre.

I adapted the recipe from here, didn't add in milk because the eggs I used were already big and the batter is quite liquid.

Butter Cream Cheese Cake

225g butter, softened
6 oz caster sugar
8 oz flour, sifted
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
4 eggs

250g cream cheese
4 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp flour
1 egg

Cream the butter and sugar together. Add in egg one at a time and mix well. Add in the flour and baking powder and that's your cake batter.
Cream the cream cheese with the sugar, then egg and flour. I didn't use an electric mixer so I had some small lumps but that's okay.
Add half the batter to a 9 inch pan (I think should use 8 inch cos I couldn't get enough batter to cover the cream cheese at the side of the pan) and spread it smoothly, then add the cream cheese layer and spread it all round. Add the cake batter layer last. I sprinkled some chocolate chips in the cheese layer, and almonds on the top.

My baby boy helped mix the cake batter and put in the chocolate chips :) I love baking with him :)

Pattern success!

Two more days till Husband is back! :)

CNY Bakes

Back from the long weekend! Spent two days fully at home, cooking and baking. So happy. Day 1 was sindhi briyani and Almond London . Day 2 was ayam lemak cili padi and a batch of almost Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies , but I split the batter into 2: hazelnut, white chocolate, cranberry combination and hazelnut, dark chocolate chip combination. I made the cranberry ones first, they taste awesome. But after I ate the chocolate chip one, say bye bye to cranberry! Nothing beats chocolate. And the white chocolate chips somehow dissolved into the batter, melted. What to do, it's just white chips from Redman. I should try a better brand instead. Happy new year indeed!

White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars

I love these! It's like a blondie but to make me feel less guilty, there's oatmeal. Was supposed to make these and freeze for easy morning breakfasts, but seems like they ran out pretty quickly that it didn't require that much freezing. Original recipe here . I made these almost three months ago and I still think about making these again and again. White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats 2 cups flour 1 1/2 cups brown sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon vanilla 2 large eggs 1 1/4 cups butter melted 1 cups white chocolate chips 1 cup dried cranberries This is like one bowl mix so anything goes. Spread batter in two 8x8 square tins, bake for 22 min at 180 degrees Celsius.

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho
