SIMPLE PLAIN CAKE. (RUB-IN METHOD).

Do you know that you don’t always need to stress yourself creaming butter and sugar forever,or using Excel sponge to make your cakes soft and fluffy?
If you doubt me,then try this Rub-in method, and don’t forget to thank me later. Lols.
It’s EASY AND DELICIOUS. 
RECIPE
2 cups sifted soft flour (250g)
1 cup magerine(225g)
3/4 cup sugar(150g)
2 tsp baking powder
4 medium eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla flavour.

Seive flour into a bowl,
Add baking powder and mix
Add magerine and mix with your fingers,raise the mixture up as you mix,this is to trap air into the mixture.
Mix until it looks crumby
Add sugar and continue mixing with your fingers until it looks almost sandy.
Make a well in the center and pour in your eggs mixed with vanilla ( I slightly whisked my eggs as if I want to fry it)
With the aid of your egg whisk,mix everything together until it’s smooth,
Your batter should be same consistency as your creamed cake batter. If it’s too thick,add 2 tbs of milk ( but if you follow this exact measurement, you won’t need extra liquid).
Pour into an already creased pan and bake till skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
The measurement gave me this 8 inches yummy cake.
Enjoy your baking.

  5. 1 tsp baking soda
  6. 1 tsp baking powder
  7. 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  8. 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  9. 2 cups shredded carrots

FOR THE CHEESECAKE LAYER:

  1. 2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  2. 1 cup granulated sugar
  3. 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  4. 2 large eggs
  5. 1/4 cup sour cream
  6. 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream

FOR THE FROSTING:

  1. 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  2. 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  3. 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
  4. 1/4 cup heavy cream
  5. 4 cups powdered sugar
  6. 1 cup chopped pecans

DIRECTIONS:

FOR THE CHEESECAKE LAYER:

  1. Prepare the cheesecake layer first. This can be done early in the day, or the night before. If freezing the cheesecake, can be stored 1-2 weeks in the freezer.
  2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Using a large roasting pan, add 1 inch of water to the pan. Place it on the lower 2/3 of the oven! Allow it to preheat in the oven.
  3. Prepare 9-inch springform pan by wrapping bottom of pan (outside) with double layer of foil. Line bottom (inside) with a circle of parchment paper.
  4. Beat cream cheese with granulated sugar for 2-3 minutes until creamy. Add in salt and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. Beat in sour cream and heavy cream, until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Pour into prepared 9-inch springform pan. Place pan in center of preheated roasting pan in the oven, making sure to be careful not to spill water.
  6. Bake cheesecake for 45 minutes. Turn oven off and let cheesecake sit in oven for an additional 30 minutes. Remove and cool completely on counter.
  7. When cooled, remove outside portion of the springform pan and place into the freezer for several hours or overnight. I put it in freezer for about 2 hours. If using within 24 hours, feel free to just refrigerate cheesecake!

FOR THE CARROT CAKE LAYERS:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 9-inch cake pans. I use Wilton Bake even strips to ensure nice, even cakes. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, oil and eggs until blended. Add in flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Beat for about 2 minutes. Add in shredded carrots. Pour into prepared cake pans.
  3. Bake for 30 minutes. Cool on wire rack for ten minutes. The remove from pans and cool completely.

FOR THE FROSTING:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and butter. Beat with whisk attachment for 3 minutes. Add in sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream. Beat for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy. Fold in chopped pecans.
  2. To assemble the cake, layer one layer of carrot cake. Add the cheesecake then top with second layer of carrot cake. Spread on the frosting, first on sides then on top!
  3. Store in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days. ENJOY
