Hey guys! I feel like we’re all ready for some cake again right? These are my favorite kind- easy, not frosted, and super flavorful. This is what I like to call a breakfast cake, as in “you won’t be judged for eating this with coffee as breakfast cake.” Let’s go there.
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup unsalted butter (150g)
- 2/3 cup cream cheese (150g)
- 1 cup sugar (200g)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract (10ml)
- 4 large eggs (room temp)
- 2 cups all purpose flour (250g)
- 2 tsp baking powder (8g)
- 1 tsp salt (5g)
- 1 tbsp pure cocoa powder
- 2 tsp red food dye
Instructions
- Preheat oven at 160C or 320F. Mix softened butter and cream cheese until smooth.
- Add sugar and vanilla, beat until light and fluffy.
- Beat 4 eggs and gradually add to the mixture. Scrape sides and bottom.
- Sift in gradually, all purpose flour, baking powder and tsp salt. Add the flour mixture in three additions.
- To another bowl, set aside 2 cups of the batter.
- Then add cocoa powder and red food dye to remaining batter and mix.
- Grease a 9 x 5 inches loaf dish. Place the batter alternately.
- Spread evenly.
- Bake in a preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean when inserted.
- Let it cool down.
- Serve and enjoy!
