Ingredients

• 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup butter, melted

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease and flour a round cake pan. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the sugar and continue beating until fully combined. Mix in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and melted butter. Gradually add the flour and mix gently until the batter is just combined and smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread the top evenly. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve as is, or top with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a light dusting of powdered sugar.

This cake is rich enough to feel indulgent yet simple enough to make any day of the week. Once you try this creamy and comforting dessert, it may quickly become one of your favorite go-to cake recipes.
