Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup milk
• 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 an 8-inch round cake pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. Add the softened butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth out the top.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. While the cake is cooling, prepare the cheesy topping. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese until evenly combined.
7. Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top.
8. For the drizzle, whisk together the heavy cream and powdered sugar until it reaches a pourable consistency. Drizzle generously over the cheesy layer.
9. Slice, serve, and enjoy your Cheesy Sweet Dessert Cake!

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing.
• Don’t overmix the cake batter; a few lumps are fine.
• Allow the cake to cool completely before adding the cream cheese layer for the best texture.

Easy Variations

• Try adding a layer of fresh fruit like strawberries or peaches between the cake and cheese topping.
• Substitute the mozzarella with another cheese like gouda for a different flavor profile.
• Experiment with flavored extracts, like almond or lemon, to add a unique twist to the cake.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a creamy contrast.
• Fresh berries for a pop of color and freshness.
• A hot cup of coffee or tea to balance the sweetness.
