CREAM CHEESE-FILLED CRUMB CAKE
I adore Entenamann's cheese filled coffee cake and wanted to try my own. Original recipe from Teriskitchen.com. I halved the crumbs/batter for my square pan, but not the filling, as I like mine loaded. :)

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.
ENTENMANN'S CHEESE FILLED CRUMB COFFEE CAKE RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:
- Combine the milk and butter in a microwave safe bowl and heat until butter is melted. In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk mixture with the sugar and salt and let cool. In a small bowl, combine the water and yeast and let foam. When the milk mixture is cooled a bit, add the eggs and yeast (the point of the cooling is to not kill the yeast, so don't let it get cold). With a dough hook, mix in the flour. (If using a wooden spoon and elbow grease, mix in the flour and then knead on a floured surface until dough is smooth and soft, about 5 to 10 minutes). Cover and let rise until double in bulk; about 1 to 1½ hours. After rising, punch down and divide in half. Roll out on a large jelly roll pan to fit the length of the pan and almost the width. In a bowl, mix the filling ingredients on medium speed. Spread the filling down the middle of each cake and either fold over the outer halves or cut strips and braid it over the filling...it's your call. In a bowl, mix the streusel ingredients with a pastry blender or fork until crumbly. Sprinkle the streusel equally on top of the two coffee cakes. Cover and let rise another 20 minutes and preheat your oven to 375°F. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. When cooled, dust with powdered sugar.
BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE CRUMB CAKE
Yum! This blueberry crumb cake is delightful. The cake dense and slightly sweet. You get a great surprise when you bite in and taste the cream cheese and blueberries in the middle. The crumb topping adds a little crunch. This will be great for breakfast, brunch or even dessert if you don't like overly sweet desserts.

Steps:
- 1. Grease a 9 x 13 pan and pre-heat oven to 350. For the filling, beat together cream cheese and sugar.
- 2. Once creamed, add vanilla and egg. Set aside.
- 3. For the cake, in another bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- 4. In a separate bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, eggs and vanilla.
- 5. Add the flour mixture alternately with the sour cream into the wet batter until well blended.
- 6. Pour half the batter into a well-greased 9x13 pan.
- 7. Spread the cream cheese filling over the batter.
- 8. Place about a pint of blueberries, I use a little more, over the cream cheese mixture. Cover the cream cheese layer with remaining batter.
- 9. For the crumb topping, using a pastry blender combine cold butter, flour and sugar until the mixture looks like small peas.
- 10. 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!
- 11. Let cool, cut and enjoy!!
CHERRY-CREAM CHEESE CRUMB CAKE BOMBS
In my family, we all agree that the sweet, crunchy crumb topping is the best part of any baked good. Growing up, it was not uncommon to meet my aunt or mom in the kitchen late at night, stealing a few crumbs off the top of the cake. The next day there would be noticeably fewer crumbs, and some guilty looks on everyone's faces. I don't always have the energy to create time-intensive, complicated baked goods, so I have come up with some shortcuts. Thanks to Pillsbury™, the hard work of making the pastry is done, and I get to just focus on making memories and connecting my children to our heritage. I am proud to encourage a new generation of crumb topping lovers!

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.
CREAM CHEESE-FILLED COFFEECAKE WITH FRUIT PRESERVES AND CRUMBLE TOPPING
If you understand how to vary the recipe, you only need one basic coffeecake in your repertoire. My all-purpose version consists of four components: batter, cream cheese filling, fruit preserves and crumb topping. The last three can be changed (or in some cases, omitted) to create a custom cake.

Steps:
- Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9-inch square metal baking pan with cooking spray. Fold a 17-inch length of heavy-duty foil to 8 1/2 inches wide and fit in the pan bottom and up 2 sides, so you can use the foil overhang as a handle to pull the baked cake from the pan.
- Topping: Use hands to thoroughly mix ingredients in a medium bowl, pressing together to form large clumps; set aside.
- Cream cheese filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until thoroughly mixed. Beat in egg and vanilla until smooth; set aside.
- Cake: Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
- Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer set on medium-high until light and fluffy. Beat in egg until smooth. Beat in half the dry ingredients, then the remaining yogurt. Beat until ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Spread batter evenly over prepared pan. Spread cream cheese filling over batter. Dollop fruit filling (or sprinkle chocolate chips) over cream cheese filling. Finally, sprinkle evenly with crumble topping, pressing on it lightly to adhere.
- Bake until batter is fully set and topping is golden brown, about 45 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. Run a thin-bladed knife around the sides, then use foil handles to pull cake from pan onto the wire rack. Cool to room temperature and serve. Can be covered with foil and stored at room temperature for one day.

- Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
