Philly Fluff (T&T)
The texture of the cake is excellent; the taste is just out of this world with great flavors. It is a must try for anyone who loves cakes.
Yield: 16 servings
Ingredients
- 10 ounces softened cream cheese
- 1/2 cup) 1 stick sweet butter, softened (important to use butter only)

- 8 ounces good quality bittersweet chocolate*, melted and cooled
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt pan or angel food pan (this is what I use).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, butter and shortening , beating until light and fluffy.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt, whisking to blend.
- Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture and mix until well blended.
- Gradually add 1 cup sugar and the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. (This step is very important.)
- Add the vanilla extract and remaining 1 cup sugar and continue beating, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice, until the batter is smooth.
- Pour half of the mixture into the prepared pan.
- Top with half of the melted chocolate and swirl a knife through the batter to marble it.
- Top with remaining batter.
- Bake for 60 to 65 minutes, depending on your oven, or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
- Invert the cake onto a platter and cool completely.
- When cake is cooled, drizzle with remaining melted chocolate allowing some to drip down the sides.
Notes
* Bittersweet chocolate is a must; do not use any other kind.
Once you make this cake and taste it, you will always make it.
