One serving has 575 kcal and 12 g protein, and at least a fifth of a woman's daily need of vitamin A (63%), riboflavin (45%), selenium (44%), choline (37%), phosphorus (29%) and pantothenic acid (26%). Ready in 55 minutes.
- Preparation: 15 min
- Cooking: 40 min
- Makes: 1 serving (189 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: alcohol, dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 80 g Cream cheese
- 25 g Sugar
- 45 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 30 g Cream, heavy
- 8 g Flour, all-purpose
- 1 g Vanilla extract
Method
- Beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth, then beat in the eggs one at a time.
- Mix in the cream, flour and vanilla until just combined; don't overbeat.
- Pour into a paper-lined tin and bake at 230°C (450°F) for 35-40 minutes until the top is deeply burnished and almost black in patches, but the centre still wobbles.
- Cool to room temperature, then chill for at least 2 hours before slicing; the centre stays soft and custardy. Makes 1 slice; multiply by 10 for a whole 20 cm cake.
