Cheddar Cheese Cake

What to do with the balance cheddar cheese after making the quiches? Browse online and found this recipe and decided to give this a try. I'm glad that at the last minute I've sprinkle some rolled oats over the surface, it really helps to beautify up the cake as it manage to conceal the unsightly cracks! :) The rolled oats also gives extra flavour and texture to this cheesy cake...



Ingredients
  • 250gm unsalted butter
  • 180gm sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 2/3 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 250gm cake flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup rolled oats

Method

  1. Sift plain flour & baking powder.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addtion before adding the next one. Fold in the Cheddar cheese.
  3. Fold in flour into the creamed mixture alternating with the milk until smooth.
  4. Pour batter into a lined 8" cake pan and sprinkle rolled oats to cover the surface. Bake in preheated oven at 180 deg cel for 50-55mins, or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.(cover the surface with a foil at the last 10mins if the cake starts to brown too fast)
