Week 15 was a bit of a gamble. I didn’t really have anyone to bake for, so I decided to test something that I was considering baking for a wedding shower brunch in a few weeks. My idea was to create A bundt cake that was like having a cherry cheese danish.
What came out of the oven was pretty yummy – but it wasn’t totally what I was hoping for. The cherry and the cream cheese all sand to the bottom of the cake while baking. So, I’m still thinking about how to try again, and what to differently. I’ll be sure to let you know how it turns out, if and when I complete a re-do. I know for sure I’d do a cream cheese topper, possibly with more cherries too!
For now, here’s what it looked like!
Cherry cheese Danish cake
Ingredients:
Golden cake mix
4 eggs
½ cup oil
1 cup milk
cherry pie filling
small cubes of cream cheese (about 4 oz.)
Instructions:
Prepare your pan with baking spray. Mix ingredients (except the cheese cubes and pie filling) on medium for 2 minutes. Pour half the batter into the pan. Scoop cherry pie filling around the center of the pan. Then pour rest of the batter to cover the pie filling. Take the cubes of cheese and scatter around on the dough. ThenBake at 350 for 45 minutes.
