raspberry cream cheese loaf

Sometimes I play around with a cake recipe and then get a bit nervous while it’s cooking in the oven. Sometimes I also eat 2 big slices of cake when it comes out of the oven and then realise I only really needed 1 slice and will need to skip lunch. Both things happened to me this morning but I’m happy to report that this cake is a winner. Definitely worth making. I actually had used a bit of cream cheese in a soup this week and had 200g left to play with and this turned out perfectly.

raspberry cream cheese loaf

100g butter
200g cream cheese (I use light)
3/4 cup caster sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs lightly beaten
1 1/4 cup self raising flour
1/4 cup buttermilk (or milk)
2 handfuls frozen/fresh berries.

mmmmmmmm

Beat butter, cream cheese, sugar and vanilla till smooth. Add in eggs and beat gently for about 30 seconds until well combined. Add in flour and buttermilk and gently combine. The mixture is quite thick but don’t worry. The thicker it is the better your berries stay on top. **Now spoon into a lined loaf tin and top with berries. I pressed mine very gently all over the top of the loaf. Bake in 160/170 degrees oven for about 35-40 minutes until a knife comes out clean (don’t tip it straight in a berry of course) and is golden on top. It should feel firm too. Lift onto cooling rack and leave to cool slightly before slicing and serving warm. This would be lovey dusted with icing sugar and served with cream or ice cream.

If you have a thermomix then make your caster sugar by processing for a few seconds on speed 8 or 9. Add in cream cheese, butter and vanilla and mix  for 30 seconds on speed 3. Add in eggs and mix for 15 seconds on speed 3. Scrape down bowl. Add in flour and milk and combine for 20 seconds on speed 3. Now follow from above where marked **.

    Have made this loaf before and when I was nominated to have “the girlfriends” for morning tea I couldn’t go past this recipe again. Unanimous vote of “fabulous, so light and utterly delicious! for the girls, and then my grandson came on his way home from school and the comment: I like this very much, you can make it again please Nonna. Not a bad endorsement. Made in my Thermo. Thank you
