CREAM CHEESE FILLING FOR CAKES



Cream Cheese Filling for Cakes image

This is a filling that I spoon in between cake layers, especially for loaf cakes, such as carrot, zucchini and blueberry, it gives that extra "kick" to cakes --- If you are making a larger size cake I suggest to double the cream cheese mixture.
