How to cook:

Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together.

In a big bowl, beat butter until soften.

Add cream cheese into the butter mixture and beat until smooth.

Gradually add sugar and beat under medium speed. It needs to beat this around 5-7 mins until this becomes super soft and pale in color.

Then add vanilla and some lemon zest. Adding lemon zest for this cake is optional. If you like that lemon taste you can add some as per your taste.

After that, add eggs one at a time.

Once eggs are well mixed with the batter gradually add prepared dry ingredients.

Finally, transfer the batter in to an 8” sized round baking tray and bake the cake around 35-40 mins under 180C in a pre-heated oven.

Meanwhile, we can make the cream cheese glaze. For that beat cream cheese until it becomes super soft.

Then add icing sugar.

Finally add some vanilla and whipping cream and beat.

When the baked cake is completely cool down, spread prepared cream cheese glaze all over the cake and decorate.

Enjoy…
