Best Breakfast Cream Cheese Snack Cake Recipes

BREAKFAST CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Press 1 package's worth of crescent rolls, still connected, onto the bottom of a greased 9x12-inch baking dish.
• Combine cream cheese, egg yolk, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a bowl; beat with an electric mixer until fluffy. Spread mixture on top of the crescent roll "crust" in the baking dish.
• Cover cream cheese filling with the second package of crescent roll dough and brush with egg white.
• Bake in the preheated oven until puffed up and golden, 25 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool.

BANANA-CREAM CHEESE BREAKFAST CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Make the filling: Beat the cream cheese and vanilla in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until smooth; transfer to a bowl. Clean out the mixer. Add the egg whites to the mixer and beat with the whisk attachment on medium-high speed until frothy, about 1 minute. Gradually beat in the sugar, then increase the mixer speed to high and beat until shiny, stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Add half of the cream cheese mixture and beat until just combined. Add the remaining cream cheese mixture and beat until smooth. Transfer the filling to a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip; set aside.
• Make the cakes: Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Sift the flour, baking soda and salt into a bowl.
• Clean out the mixer. Beat the butter, sugar and vanilla with the paddle attachment on medium speed until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Beat in the mashed bananas until combined. Add half of the flour mixture and beat on low speed until almost combined, then add the remaining flour mixture and beat until just combined (do not overmix).
• Divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups. Insert the pastry tip halfway into each and pipe about 1 tablespoon filling into the middle of the batter. (The cups should be about three-quarters full.) Bake until a toothpick inserted into the cake (not the filling) comes out clean, 20 to 35 minutes. Transfer the pan to a rack and let cool about 15 minutes, then remove the cakes to the rack to cool completely.

PEACHES AND CREAM BREAKFAST CAKE

Steps:

• Place the rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
• Stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Add the oil, eggs, almond extract, vanilla bean seeds and 1/2 cup of the skyr. Stir to combine. Fold in the diced peaches and 1/4 cup of the almonds. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup almonds.
• Bake until the loaf is golden brown, begins to come away from the sides of the pan and a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes.
• Transfer the pan to a rack to cool for 5 minutes, then run a blunt knife between the cake and the sides of the pan. Unmold and let cool, right-side up, to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, combine the peach jelly and remaining 1/2 cup skyr in a small bowl, leaving a few streaks of jelly. Set aside.
• Slice the cooled cake with a serrated knife. Top with a dollop of the prepared skyr and garnish with sliced peaches and mint sprigs. The Peaches and Cream Breakfast Cake keeps for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
