https://foodcenter82.blogspot.com/This Lemon Cream Butter Cake is the love child of a buttery lemon cake and a lemon cheesecake. A perfect marriage of the two textures and flavours.

Ingredients
For the cream cheese filling:

• 8 oz cream cheese at room temperature
• 1 cup icing/confectioners' sugar
• 3 Tbsp unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• Zest of 1/2 lemon
• 2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

For the Cake:

• 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup granulated white sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/8 tsp salt reduced to a pinch if using salted butter
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
• 2 large eggs
• Zest of 2 small or one large lemons
• 2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp vanilla

For garnish:

• Additional icing/confectioners' sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325F (160C). Prepare an 8-inch springform pan by spraying with cooking spray and lining the bottom with a round of parchment paper. Place pan on a baking sheet and set aside. *Baking sheet is recommended as some small amount of butter may leak out during baking.

3. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl with an electric beater or the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese on medium-high peed for about 5 minutes, until smooth and creamy.
4. Add the icing sugar and beat for another 2 to 3 minutes. Add the egg and beat until completely combined, about 1 minute. Add the melted butter, vanilla, lemon zest and lemon juice. Beat until completely combined, about 1 minute. Set aside.
5. Prepare the cake batter: In large bowl, whisk together the flour, white sugar, baking powder and salt. Whisk in melted (cooled) butter, eggs, lemon juice, vanilla and lemon zest just until combined. Do not overmix.
