Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). In my kitchen, the first step is always the most crucial because the perfect temperature makes all the difference! In a large mixing bowl, I combine the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar, beating them together using my electric mixer until it’s smooth and creamy—this usually takes about 2-3 minutes. Next, I add in the vanilla extract and eggs, blending each addition thoroughly before moving on. The batter should be light and fluffy at this stage! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
