Who doesn’t need a little slice of comfort now and then? I know with my hectic work schedule, the simplicity and wholesomeness of a Cream Cheese Cake can really turn a day around. This particular cake is a nod to traditional cheesecake, but with a homier, more down-to-earth spin that fits perfectly in a 9×13 pan—no fancy springform required. If you’re looking for a dessert that’s both satisfying to bake and a definite crowd-pleaser, you’ll want to bookmark this recipe. Whether it’s a potluck, a family gathering, or simply a weekend treat, this cake brings a little celebration to the table without any fuss.
This Cream Cheese Cake stands beautifully on its own, but if you’re looking to dress it up, serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a fruitier twist, some fresh berries or a drizzle of raspberry sauce can add a touch of elegance to this homestyle favorite.
