Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Cake

Been sitting on my butt to bake as I really wan to bake something. But so busy with my learning materials and the kids’ schoolwork and all, and to top it off with an active 3yo-to-be, TIME is never enough! 

Today is my neighbour’s birthday! This call for a good reason! She always shower me with all her cooking, mee soto, curry, ayam masak and many more! Me always shower her ‘fats’ whenever I bake! But I haven been baking often lately. 🙊🙊

I googled and chances upon this recipe with whatever ingredients I have at home. So decided to try this interesting recipe today! Loved the cookie crust and the combination of the creamcheese tho a tad sweet, it is crunchy, chewy and soft. Yums! Perhaps with the addition of the chocolate chips, I will reduce the sugar in the creamcheese batter the next round. Reduce a bit of chocolates the next round and add a bit more sugar in the cookie dough and add some cinnamon? 🤔🤔

Can you see the layers?? I love it! Hub loves it so much and asked me why so little! Lol!! Ooppss, I baked a small 4” cake tin for own consumption cos we rarely have sweet tooth! But i think he likes chewy cookies so he totally fall in ❤️ with this one!! 

Have one too, my friends!! I will share the recipe source below! Serve it on its own, warm with a scoop of ice cream or have it chill!

Fuss-free 2 Bowls Banana Cake recipe

Very last minute bake that came to my mind using the bunch of bananas from prayers. Decided to make them for kids’ breakfast before going to school and some for my mum to bring home too. Quickly googled and decided on this super simple and easy and only uses 2 bowls for this recipe! Easy clean up!  

I think you can make do with 1 bowl as well but as I seperate my wet n dry ingredients so I use 2 bowls instead. And I also left some chinkier bits if banana for more flavour. 😋😋

Moist and yummy. Recipe is not overly sweet as well. Sprinkle some chocolare chips for the kids too. ❤️❤️❤️
