Story Behind Philly Fluff Cake

Philly is a nod to Philadelphia cream cheese, the indestructible sweet carmelized golden butter goodness that makes this cake so rich and fluffy.

Ingredients

For the Cake Batter:

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
8 ounces Philadelphia cream cheese, softened
2 3/4 cups granulated sugar
6 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup whole milk

Optional Additions:

1 cup mini chocolate chips or cocoa powder for a chocolate swirl effect
Zest of one lemon for a citrusy twist

Glaze (Optional):

1 cup powdered sugar
2–3 tablespoons milk or cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Tips for Success

Use Room-Temperature Ingredients: The main reason to achieve this is to ensure your butter, cream cheese and eggs are all at room temperature so your batter comes out smooth and creamy.
Grease the Pan Thoroughly: Don’t skimp on greasing and flouring the pan when you have bundt cakes, or they can be tricky to release.
Don’t Overmix: Dense cake is caused by overmixing. Roll up the dough just so that the ingredients are mixed.
Test for Doneness: Baked ovens vary so check the cake a couple of minutes before the recommended baking time and each oven is different, so you may need to experiment to find what works for you.

Lets Start By Me!

Welcome to my recipeworld.blog. Today I’m sharing this cream cheese chiffon cake, fluffy as clouds. A good chiffon cake can be seen by looking at the texture inside, the cream cheese flavor is particularly delicious. You need to prepare 100g of cream cheese, I used this package about half the amount. The cream cheese needs to be softened by heating it in water first, and another way is to microwave it to soften it as well Soften until smooth, then add 40ml of milk and continue to mix well.

Prepare 5 eggs, separate the yolks and whites first Put the yolks into the cream cheese batter Mix well with a whisk After mixing, add 60g of cake flour Continue mixing with a whisk, the batter is in a very smooth Now whip the egg whites, a few drops of lemon juice will remove the fishy and also make the whipped meringue more stable.

First turn on the medium-high speed whip, whip to large fish-eye bubbles and add 1/3 of the caster sugar Whip to small fisheye bubbles, then add 1/3 of the caster sugar Add the remaining 1/3 of the granulated sugar when the texture becomes visible Finally whip until small hooks form. Add 1/3 of the meringue to the egg yolk and mix well. Then add the rest of the meringue to the egg yolk and mix well

The final state of the cake batter is a smooth drop like a ribbon Pour the cake batter from the top into the 7-inch hollow cake mold Stir with chopsticks to remove some of the air bubbles and place in the preheated oven on the lower middle level. Bake at 150°C (300°F) for 20 minutes, then turn to 160°C (320°F) for 30 minutes.

Remove the baked cake from the oven, shake it a few times to remove the heat, then turn it upside down and let it cool After about 2 hours, the cake is almost cold enough to cut, so let’s remove the mold. You can remove the cake with the spatula by scoring around the edges, then scoring in the center, and then shaking it a few times with your hands Pat away the crumbs on the outside and press the cake toward the center with your hand so that you can remove the bottom plate Cut to see the tissue inside

Very fine and dense, with a little bit of pressure to spring back slower, this is because the cake’s moisture content is relatively high, so the cake is more moist, the taste is very good It’s like cotton when you break it with your hands, light and fluffy as a cloud The taste is also very good, if you like the food follow recipeworld.blog.
