Philly Fluff Cake Recipe 395

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Beat cream cheese, butter, granulated sugar and vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended.
• Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Gradually add flour and baking powder, mixing on low speed until blended. Pour into greased and floured 9x5-inch loaf pan.
• Bake 1 hour 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes; remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar just before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour an 12-cup Bundt pan. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the cream cheese, butter, and shortening until light and fluffy. In a small mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture and mix until blended. Gradually add 1 cup of the sugar and the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla and the remaining 1 cup sugar and continue beating, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice, until the batter is smooth. Pour half of the mixture into the prepared pan. Top with half of the melted chocolate and swirl a knife through the batter to marble it. Top with the remaining batter. Bake for 60 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Invert the cake onto a platter and cool completely. Before serving, drizzle the cake with the remaining melted chocolate.

Steps:

• Note: 3 sticks of butter equal 3/4 lb.

• Cream butter well, add cream cheese.
• Mix thoroughly.
• Gradually add sugar.
• Add eggs, one at a time.
• Add flour gradually, then add vanilla flavor.
• Place cake in tube pan in COLD oven.
• Bake at 325 degrees F (163 degrees C) for 1 1/2 hours (gas oven 1 hour)[from the time you turn on the oven].
