Crispy Cobbler Topping Ingredients- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (approx. 40g)
- 1/3 cup rolled oats (approx. 30g)
- 1 tbsp black sesame seeds
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1/3 cup brown sugar (approx. 70g)
- 20g cold butter
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (approx. 40g)
- 1/3 cup rolled oats (approx. 30g)
- 1 tbsp black sesame seeds
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1/3 cup brown sugar (approx. 70g)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the crispy cobbler topping. Grind the rolled oats in a blender until fine. In a bowl, cream the softened butter until smooth. Add the ground oats, all-purpose flour, black sesame seeds, cinnamon powder, and brown sugar. Use your fingertips to rub the ingredients together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Chill this cobbler mixture in the refrigerator.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the cake batter. In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and whip until the mixture is light, fluffy, and no longer feels gritty. Add the pre-whipped eggs in 3-4 additions, mixing well after each addition. Be careful not to add too much egg at once, as it can cause the batter to separate.
Step 3
Gradually incorporate the heavy cream into the batter, mixing until just combined. Whip gently until the cream is fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.
Step 4
Sift the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together into a separate bowl. Add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Gently fold or whisk until just combined and no dry streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a tough cake.
Step 5
Prepare your chiffon cake pan by generously greasing it with butter to prevent sticking. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan. Smooth the top of the batter with a spatula or swirl it gently with a skewer. Tap the pan on the counter a couple of times to release any large air bubbles, ensuring an even rise.
Step 6
Evenly sprinkle the chilled cobbler topping over the cake batter. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 30 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 175°C (345°F) and bake for another 6-7 minutes to achieve a perfectly crisp topping. Oven temperatures can vary, so adjust the time and temperature as needed. Perform a skewer test to ensure the cake is baked through.
Step 7
Your delicious Cream Cheese Cobbler Cake is ready to be enjoyed! It’s wonderful served warm or at room temperature. The combination of the moist cake and the crunchy, sweet topping is divine, making it a perfect treat with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk.
