Indulge in a slice of pure decadence with Philly Fluff Cake. This delightful dessert combines the irresistible flavors of vanilla, cheesecake, and chocolate into one heavenly treat. Whether it’s a special occasion or you just crave something delicious, this cake won’t disappoint!

A Delightful Combination

Philly Fluff Cake is the perfect blend of creaminess and chocolaty goodness. As you take a bite, you’ll savor the rich flavors of cream cheese both in the cake batter and glaze. The cream cheese gives the cake a luxurious texture, while thick ribbons of melted chocolate add an extra layer of indulgence.

A Swirl of Deliciousness

Creating the signature swirl in Philly Fluff Cake is easier than you might think. Just fill a bundt pan halfway with batter, then pour the melted chocolate on top. Use a knife to gently swirl the two layers together, creating a beautiful marbled effect. Be careful not to overmix; you want to create a subtle swirl pattern.

The Perfect Finish

After baking, let the cake cool slightly before removing it from the pan. Allowing it to cool a little longer before glazing ensures that the frosting stays in place. The glaze is simple to make and gives the cake an elegant, snow-white appearance. If you prefer a simpler finish, a dusting of powdered sugar also works wonderfully.

Philly Fluff Cake Recipe

Serves: 12-16 | Prep Time: 50 minutes | Cook Time: 1 hour | 464 Calories per serving

Ingredients:

• 14 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
• 1/3 cup vegetable shortening
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups granulated sugar, divided
• 4 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 5 oz bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F. In a large bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese, butter, and shortening until fluffy in texture.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the dry mixture to the cream cheese mixture, blending continuously.
3. Add 1 cup of sugar and mix well. Follow with 2 eggs, then add the remaining sugar and mix again. Finally, add the remaining eggs and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until the batter is uniform in color.
4. Pour half of the batter into a greased and floured 6-cup bundt pan. Afterward, add the melted chocolate on top of the batter and swirl it gently using a butter knife. Don’t overmix. Finally, top with the remaining cream cheese batter.
5. Bake for 60-65 minutes. Allow the cake to cool for 15 minutes before removing it from the pan. Let it cool for another hour before applying the glaze.

Glaze Ingredients:

• 2 oz cream cheese, room temperature
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups powdered sugar

Glaze Instructions:

1. Combine all the glaze ingredients using an electric mixer until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add a bit more milk until it reaches a slightly runny consistency.
2. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and allow it to set for 20 minutes before serving. Alternatively, you can dust the cake with powdered sugar instead of glazing it.

Enjoy the pure bliss of Philly Fluff Cake, a delightful creation that will surely make any occasion special.
