Panqué de queso crema 😋🍞

by

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of all-purpose flour (280 g) – Provides structure to the cake.
  • 1 tbsp baking powder – Helps the cake rise and become fluffy.
  • 1 pinch of salt – Enhances flavor and balances sweetness.

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup sugar (50 g) – Adds sweetness and texture.
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (397 g or 14 oz) – For extra moisture and sweetness.
  • 1 block cream cheese (190–226 g or 6–8 oz) – Creates a rich, creamy texture.
  • 1/4 cup whole milk (60 ml) – Helps achieve a smooth batter.
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil (180 ml) – Keeps the cake moist.
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract – Adds flavor.
  • 3 large eggs – Acts as a binding agent and adds richness.

Equipment Needed

  1. Mixing bowls (one large and one medium).
  2. Hand mixer or stand mixer.
  3. Sifter or fine-mesh sieve.
  4. Spatula or whisk.
  5. Measuring cups and spoons.
  6. 1 loaf pan (9×5 inches or similar size).
  7. Oven thermometer (optional for accuracy).
  8. Wire cooling rack.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven:
    • Set the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and lightly flour your loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients:
    • Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  3. Cream the wet ingredients:
    • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar with a mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy.
    • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
    • Gradually mix in the sweetened condensed milk, milk, vanilla, and oil until fully incorporated.
  4. Combine wet and dry:
    • Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three parts, folding gently with a spatula or mixing on low speed to avoid overmixing.
  5. Prepare for baking:
    • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
  6. Bake:
    • Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
    • Check for doneness around the 45-minute mark, as ovens vary.
  7. Cool and serve:
    • Let the panqué cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or with a drizzle of glaze (e.g., lemon or vanilla glaze).
  • Pair with coffee, tea, or a glass of milk.

Tips for Success

  1. Room temperature ingredients:
    • Ensure the cream cheese, eggs, and milk are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
  2. Don’t overmix:
    • Overmixing the batter can lead to a dense texture.
  3. Avoid opening the oven early:
    • Opening the oven before the cake is set can cause it to collapse in the center.

Variations

  1. Add-ins:
    • Stir in chocolate chips, dried fruit (e.g., raisins or cranberries), or chopped nuts.
  2. Citrus flavor:
    • Add 1–2 tsp of lemon or orange zest for a bright, citrusy twist.
  3. Marbled panqué:
    • Swirl in a few tablespoons of cocoa powder mixed with water for a chocolate-vanilla effect.

Storage

  • Room Temperature: Wrap the panqué tightly in plastic wrap and store for up to 3 days.
  • Refrigeration: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
  • Freezing: Wrap slices individually in plastic wrap and freeze in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
