What You’ll Need to Make This Recipe

The base of this recipe is a simple, soft cake made with flour, sugar, eggs, and oil. It bakes into a light and tender layer that holds the filling beautifully.

The filling is what makes these bars shine—a creamy mixture made with milk, sugar, and a thickener like cornstarch or cream cheese, depending on the style you prefer. Many variations use a custard-like cream or a fluffy cream cheese mixture for richness. 0

How to Make Cream-Filled Cake Bars Step by Step

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

In a bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar until light. Add oil and mix until smooth. Stir in flour and baking powder to create a soft batter.
