This was a new one for me and it didn't disappoint. Because the main man Alfie gave it a 10! I'll not lie I was a little worried when I poured the topping on. Would it bake, would it not? But my goodness did it work well. A soft delicious sponge with a moist, yet crisp and chewy cream cheese topping. This recipe definitely shows you to trust the process because the finished article was something else. Best of all it's so simple to make, so what's not to love?

Turn cooking mode on

Step 1

Get you butter and caster sugar into a mixer and beat these until pale and fluffy. Scrape the sides down midway through to ensure it's fully combined. Give it a good 5 minutes, the creamier it becomes the lighter your cake will be. Now fire in your eggs and vanilla, beating until combined. Scrape the sides down making sure it's fully incorporated. You want it creamy and smooth.

This is delicious 😍 10 rating here too! Just wondering do you store in the fridge? I was wondering if it spoils the texture if chilled? Thankyou for the recipe!,

Absolutely delighted to hear Anita 🙌🏼 My Granda wasn’t wrong then 😅 We stored it in an airtight container, the fridge would make it quite stodgy! We also reheated it for a wee while in the air fryer the days after, it worked very well 🤤
