This cake is very popular in the East Coast. Natale's Bakery in New Jersey is famous for this cake. I made a small cake but this recipe can be easily doubled and baked in a 12 cup tube or Bundt pan. The powdered sugar is a must on this cake.
Ingredients
- 5 ounces cream cheese
- 0.25 cups butter
- 0.25 cups butter-flavored vegetable shortening
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups powdered sugar
Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a tube or Bundt pan and set aside.

2
Beat butter, cream cheese, and shortening together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.

3
Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Beat flour mixture into cream cheese mixture and mix until well combined.

4
Beat in 1 egg. Add 1/2 cup sugar; mix until combined. Repeat with second egg and remaining sugar; beat in last egg. Beat in vanilla extract. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
-

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 38 to 45 minutes.
-

Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Remove cake from pan and cool completely. When cake is completely cool, sift powdered sugar in a thick layer over the whole cake.

Keto Avocado Dessert
This is something I made up on the fly one day for breakfast to try and use up an overly ripe avocado. Freeze for 1 hour for a more ice cream-like treat.
Venison Meatballs with Creamy Mustard Sauce
These venison meatballs are great on their own, but pairing them with a creamy tangy mustard sauce puts them over the top. Serve over pasta or rice, if desired.
Baked Maryland Lump Crab Cakes
These baked crab cakes are authentic Maryland-style crab cakes. Many people claim to make a true Maryland crab cake, but I have lived by the Chesapeake Bay on Kent Island, MD, nearly my whole life and can say that this recipe with all lump meat with almost no filler tastes incredible!
