VANILLA CREAM CHEESE RECIPES

Steps:

• Grease a 9 x 13 pan and pre-heat oven to 350. For the filling, beat together cream cheese and sugar.
• Once creamed, add vanilla and egg. Set aside.
• For the cake, in another bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• In a separate bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, eggs and vanilla.
• Add the flour mixture alternately with the sour cream into the wet batter until well blended.
• Pour half the batter into a well-greased 9x13 pan.
• Spread the cream cheese filling over the batter.
• Place about a pint of blueberries, I use a little more, over the cream cheese mixture. Cover the cream cheese layer with remaining batter.
• For the crumb topping, using a pastry blender combine cold butter, flour and sugar until the mixture looks like small peas.
• Sprinkle the crumb topping over the top of the cake. Bake in a 350 oven for 55- 60 minutes. Test in center with toothpick. DO NOT LET THE TOP GET BROWN! It will be overbaked and dry!
• Let cool, cut and enjoy!!

Steps:

• Using an electric mixer on medium-low speed, beat cream cheese, butter, and salt in a large bowl until smooth. Add powdered sugar and beat on low speed until incorporated, then increase speed to medium and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl, then beat in vanilla. Spread frosting on cupcakes.
