Ingredients

9 total
  • 300ml double cream
  • 100ml whole milk
  • 100ml soured cream
  • 100g cornflakes
  • 600g cream cheese
  • 200g caster sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 5 medium eggs
  • 75g plain flour, sifted

Method

5 steps

  1. Step 1

    Combine the cream, milk and soured cream in a large bowl; whisk to combine. Stir in the cornflakes, then cover and leave to infuse in the fridge overnight. Blitz briefly with a stick blender on low, until combined and smooth.

  2. Step 2

    Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas 9. Line a 20 cm cake tin with a large sheet of baking paper, ensuring a generous overhang.

  3. Step 3

    Using a bowl and electric whisk (or stand mixer) beat the cream cheese, sugar and salt for 2 mins on a low speed. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until just incorporated before adding the next.

  4. Step 4

    Switch to a spatula and gently fold in the flour until just combined, then fold in the cornflake mixture. Pour all the mixture into the tin (don’t worry if it looks a little full); firmly tap the tin 2-3 times on your worktop to remove any air bubbles.

  5. Step 5

    Pop it in the oven and reduce the heat to 230°C/210°C fan/gas 8. Bake for 40 mins, until dark on top but wobbly in the middle. Leave to cool in the tin, then chill for 1 hr. Best eaten within 2 days.
