Instructions: Cream cheese chocolate cake with fresh strawberries
For this recipe I used cream cheese made by Arla that was kindly offered to me by its manufacturer. This cheese is 100% natural. It contains no preservatives, coloring agents, additives or stabilizers of any kind.
Put spreadable cream cheese, soft butter and sugar in a bowl and whisk it for a minute until well combined.
Add egg and vanilla extract and whisk again. At this point turn off the mixer and add sifted flour, cocoa powder and baking powder. stir in gently. The dough will be thick and sticky.
Move the batter into a 20 cm diameter round baking pan. I used silicone pan so if you are using the classic baking ban remember to grease it and dust it with some flour. Decorate with sliced fresh strawberries.
Bake in the preheated static oven at 180 °C for 30 to 35 minutes or until the toothpick inserted in the center of the cake come out clean.
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before serving.
