 Cream Cheese Cake

Ingredients:

For the Cake:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 cup granulated sugar

3 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Glaze (optional):

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1-2 tablespoons milk or cream

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and continue beating until fully combined.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool the cake completely in the pan on a wire rack before removing the sides.

For the optional glaze, whisk powdered sugar with milk or cream until smooth and drizzle over the cooled cake.
