Cream Cheese Cake

Step 5: Combine and Add Milk
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Stir in the milk to create a smooth batter.

Step 6: Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 7: Cool and Serve
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar or top with your favorite fruit for a pretty finish.

🌟 Tips for the Best Cream Cheese Cake

• Use room temperature ingredients for a smooth, lump-free batter.
• Don’t overmix once the flour is added; this keeps the cake tender.
• Want more tang? Add a teaspoon of lemon juice or zest to the batter.
• For a denser texture, try adding an extra ounce or two of cream cheese.
