Instructions
| Step | Directions |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 13×9 inch baking pan by greasing it thoroughly. |
| 2 | In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. |
| 3 | Using a pastry blender or a food processor, cut the shortening into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. |
| 4 | Add 3 of the eggs and the melted butter to the flour mixture. Use a wooden spoon to stir until well combined. |
| 5 | Spread this batter evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking pan, ensuring a smooth layer. |
| 6 | In another mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, the remaining 2 eggs, confectioners’ sugar (reserving 2 tablespoons), and vanilla extract. |
| 7 | Whisk or beat the mixture until it is smooth and creamy. Pour this cream cheese mixture evenly over the batter in the baking pan. |
| 8 | Place the pan in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the reserved 2 tablespoons of confectioners’ sugar over the top. |
| 9 | Return the pan to the oven and continue baking for an additional 35 minutes. The cake should remain slightly moist in the center when done. |
| 10 | Allow the cake to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature for a rich, buttery dessert experience. |
Tips for Success:
- Mixing Technique: For the base layer, avoid overmixing the batter to maintain its tender texture.
- Softening Cream Cheese: Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the topping layer.
- Serving Suggestion: Pair each slice with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra touch of indulgence.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days or refrigerate for up to five days.
