  • 1 teaspoon (5g) vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons (10g) baking powder

Instructions

1 . Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
2 . In a large bowl, beat the butter, cream cheese, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the sourdough discard, eggs, and vanilla.

8 . Let the cake cool before serving warm.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the batter to ensure a tender, fluffy cake.
  • For an extra indulgence, drizzle some vanilla glaze over the cooled cake!
