Instructions
 

  • Melt the unsalted butter using a double boiler or in the microwave in short bursts. Set aside to cool completely.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, corn flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Sifting the dry ingredients several times creates a lighter, airier cake.
  • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the sweetened condensed milk, water, cooled melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  • Whisk the wet and dry ingredients together gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Add the softened cream cheese to the batter. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for about 1 minute, or until the cream cheese is just incorporated. Overmixing at this stage can make the cake tough.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
  • Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Serve as is or frost with your favorite frosting.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

  • For an extra moist crumb, allow all your dairy ingredients (cream cheese, butter, and condensed milk) to come fully to room temperature before mixing.
  • If you want more sweetness, add 1/8 cup of sugar (dissolved in the water before adding it to the other ingredients).
  • If you'd like to accentuate the vanilla flavor, scrape the seeds from half a vanilla bean into the batter or add a splash of vanilla bean paste.
  • To create an eye-catching presentation, dust the cooled cake lightly with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple glaze made from cream cheese and a touch of lemon juice.

Expert Tips

  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to a tough cake.
  • Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting or glazing.

Storage Instructions

  • This cake stays tender for several days. Store it tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for a week. Bring to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
