Cream Cheese Pound Cake

Cream Cheese Pound Cake 

Throughout my high-school years my, in my culinary class, we made plenty Cream Cheese Pound cake. We sold them for nearly every fundraiser, we'd make them weeks before time and freeze them. The added Cream Cheese gives the crust a nice thick sweet crisp and the dense cake will melt in your mouth! we always loved eating it but near the end of each year we were a little tired of making them, haha. 

The Cake:

1(8 ounce) package cream cheese

1 1/2 cups butter

3 cups white sugar

6 eggs

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 325 and spray the bunt pan. 

Cream the cream cheese butter and sugar together until the mixture if light and fluffy.

Add one or two of the eggs at a time so they will all be incorporated equally. 

  

Add the flour, i sifted mine to make sure there were no lumps.

Add the vanilla (i used about 2 1/2 tps).

Pour the batter into your greased bunt pan and bake at 325 for 1 hour and 20 minutes. 

Enjoy!

I always enjoy freezing mine and eating it cold!

Mount. Crepe Bake

 For those of you that are unfamiliar with crepes, they are basically really thin French pancakes.

They can be made to be a sweet dessert or a savory treat.

Make a crepe batter, one of your own creation or a trusted one off the web.

   i can’t recall the ratios i used to make my crepe batter, but it came out to a really nice consistency. i added some Dill Weed and Garlic Salt, just enough to make the crepe savory. i got about 7 or 8, five-six inch, crepes out of the batter i made (i was using a six inch skillet). Six layers of a Six inch skillet should feed 2 for a light breakfast and about 1 or 1 1/2 for dinner. 

Egg Mixture 1

2 eggs

Salt/Pepper

1/8 cup ranch dressing (mine was homemade, with milk, sour cream, dill weed, garlic, shredded cheddar cheese)
And also about 6 pieces of fried bacon cut into small bits and cheese wedges, enough for about 6 wedges a layer (I used Medium Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese).

Egg Mixture 2

1 egg

Salt/Pepper

1 tablespoon Milk

For this next step you’ll need a skillet that you can bake in (a baking dish will do fine also). I was able to use a cast-iron skillet. Normally I use cooking spray but with eggs I suggest using butter to oil your pan. Lay a crepe in the center of your dish. Sprinkle bacon and cheese slices over the crepe then followed by 2 table spoons of the first egg mixture. Repeat this layering until you reach the desired amount (I suggest about 5 or 6 layers). 

Once you finish your last layer pour the second egg mixture over the crepe layer mount. Bake at 375 for about 15-20 min or until it appears to be nice and golden, the base should be fluffy and look crisp.  

                                                      

Once you take it out of the oven it will be quite fluffy. Once it rests it will slightly reduce in size.

            

Here it is with my homemade ranch over the top.

It was quite good, and i'm not sure what to name it!
