Tips for Success

• Ensure that the cream cheese is at room temperature before starting the recipe. This helps achieve a smooth and creamy batter.
• Use a stand mixer for best results, but a hand mixer can also work if that’s what you have on hand.
• Be careful not to overmix the batter once the flour is added to the cake layer. Overmixing can result in a dense cake.
• Allow the cakes to cool completely before attempting to remove them from the ramekins to ensure they hold their shape.
