Irresistible Crème Brûlée Cake Recipe to Savor

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 2 cup heavy cream
• 1 2 cup whole milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar (for topping)
• 0 Fresh berries (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the heavy cream and whole milk. Mix until just combined, ensuring not to overmix.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once the cake is cooled, place it on a heatproof plate. Evenly sprinkle the brown sugar over the surface of the cake.
10. Using a kitchen torch, carefully brûlée the sugar until it caramelizes and forms a hard crust. If you don’t have a torch, you can place the cake under broiler for about 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
11. Allow the sugar crust to cool for a few minutes before slicing the cake.
12. Serve with fresh berries on the side for added decoration and flavor.
