COCONUT CREAM CHEESE CAKE
1 c butter, softened (2 sticks)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
6 eggs
2 c sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp coconut extract
2 1/4 all purpose flour
1/4 c coconut milk or cream of coconut ( optional )
Preheat oven to 350 degree F.
Prepare a 9 x 13 pan with non stick cooking spray.
Cream together butter, cream cheese and sugar.
Beat in eggs one at a time, vanilla and then mix in flour. This is when I added the coconut milk. ( if using, just stir it in well.)
Spread batter into prepared pan.
Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until wooden pick comes out clean.
As this cake cools, it will fall…that’s normal…so don’t be alarmed…it should be the thickness of a sheet cake…it will not be thick like a regular cake…:)
Cool on cooling rack
