Equipment

Ingredients

For the cake:

  • 1 lb. unsalted butter
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 5 1/4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 5 eggs
  • 2/3 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups flour

For the Buttermilk Soak mixture:

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 2/3 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda

To garnish:

  • Vanilla ice cream
  • 1 pint fresh berries
  • 12 sprigs mint

Instructions

  • Preheat a convection oven to 350.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together with a paddle attachment in a mixer until fluffy.
  • Add cream cheese and continue to mix until incorporated.
  • With the mixer speed on low, add eggs one by one and slowly add vanilla extract.
  • Mix until fully incorporated.
  • Scrape the sides of the mixer and add the flour. Then, mix on low speed until just incorporated – careful not to over mix.
  • Arrange small cake molds or ramekins on a flat, parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Spray the inside of the molds with a non-stick baking spray and place level ½ cup scoops of the batter into each mold, patting down until it is level.
  • Bake the cakes in a convection oven for 15 minutes, rotate, and bake another 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • While the cakes are baking, add the buttermilk soak mixture ingredients to a small sauce pan and heat until the butter has melted completely, but do not boil.
  • When the cakes are removed from the oven, immediately poke about 20 holes into each cake with a wooden skewer.
  • Ladle the buttermilk mixture onto each cake while it is still hot, making sure it goes in the holes. It will be just over a tablespoon of the soak per cake.
  • Allow to cool in the molds until the cakes are close to room temperature but still warm and then remove the molds or ramekins.
  • Serve cakes while still warm and top with vanilla ice cream and fresh berries, garnish with a sprig of mint.
