CREAM CHEESE-FILLED CRUMB CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Grease a 13x9x2-inch cake pan.
• In a large bowl, combine the butter, flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Mix with your hands to form crumbs (I used a small handheld pastry blender).
• Take out just enough for crumbs on top of cake, about 3/4 cup. Set aside. To the remaining crumbs add the eggs and milk; beat well.
• Place all filling ingredients into a medium bowl and beat with a whisk or mixer until smooth.
• Spread half the batter into the cake pan (batter is very thick and sticky).
• Pour the cream cheese mixture on top to within about 1/2-inch of the edges.
• Gently spread the remaining batter on top of the cream cheese (I dropped little dollops of it all across the top, as it was so thick it didn't spread well, especially on top of liquid cream cheese).
• Sprinkle the top with the reserved crumbs.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes or until cake tester inserted in center comes out clean.
• Remove from oven and set on a rack to cool.
• To serve, cut into squares.
• Leftover cake should be refrigerated after a day.

CHERRY-CREAM CHEESE CRUMB CAKE BOMBS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray 8 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray.
• In small bowl, stir cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Set aside. In another small bowl, using fork or pastry blender, mix melted butter, 4 tablespoons of the flour and the granulated sugar until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Set aside.
• Separate dough into 8 rolls. Place remaining 1 tablespoon flour off to the side, on work surface. Dip cinnamon-coated side of each roll into flour; shake off excess. With cinnamon side up, press each roll into 3 1/2-inch round. Spoon 1 teaspoon of the preserves in center of each roll; top with 1 rounded teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture. Bring edges of each roll up over filling; pinch edges tightly to seal. Place rolls, pinched side down, in muffin cups.
• In small bowl, beat egg and water with fork. Brush egg mixture over top of each roll. Sprinkle 1 rounded tablespoon of the crumb topping on each roll; slightly press into dough.
• Bake 16 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan 5 minutes. Remove cake bombs from pan; place on cooling rack.
• Place icing from can into 1-quart resealable food-storage plastic bag; cut small hole in bottom corner of bag. Squeeze bag to drizzle icing over cake bombs. Let stand 5 minutes. Serve warm.
