Servings: persons

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (10 ounces)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (grate very fine)
1 cup butter, room temperature
2 cups sugar
6 large eggs, room temperature
2 cups creme fraiche, room temperature (or substitute 1 cup cream and 1 cup sour cream, combined)
1/2 cup cream cheese
Garnishes
powdered sugar
sweetened whipped cream
fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, or mixed berries) or other fresh fruit (such as sliced spiced peaches or carmelized apples)

1
Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt into a large mixing bowl.
2
Whisk in the Parmesan. Set aside.
3
Cream together the butter and sugar with a mixer, about 5 minutes.
4
One at a time, add eggs to the butter mixture, mixing well (at medium speed) after each addition.
5
Add cream cheese and mix until smooth.
6
On slowest speed, alternate adding the flour mixture and the creme fraiche, ending with the flour mixture. Do not overmix.
7
Butter and lightly flour two (8x8) metal cake pans or one large metal baking pan (9x12 or 9x13).
8
Pour the cake batter into the prepared pans and spread evenly. Tap the pan down sharply on the countertop a couple of times to release any air bubbles.
9
Bake at 350u00b0F for 45-55 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean. Let cool.
10
Invert the completely cool cake onto a cutting board, trim the edges away, and then with a serrated cake knife, cut the cake in half lengthwise. Cut widthwise into 11/2-inch slices. You will end up with fourteen 4- by 11/2-inch slices. (Or cut slices only as you need them, keeping the cake well sealed in plastic wrap).
11
Serve with your choice of garnishes.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
