EASY RASPBERRY CREAM CHEESE DANISH/COFFEE CAKE/PIE
On our way home, I asked my husband to just quickly stop at the store for milk. While there, he started to describe a dessert that he wanted me to make, but his description was, let's just say, lacking. Was it a Danish? Coffee Cake? Pie? Sweet Roll? I didn't know what he was talking about. One hour later, we emerged with a bag...

Steps:
- 1. *Please Note: Prep time does not include defrosting dough or rise times. Night before, place frozen bread loaf in a large ziplock bag with the inside of the bag sprayed with Pam. Place in fridge overnight.
- 2. Mix softened cream cheese, vanilla and powdered sugar with hand mixer until light and fluffy. Set aside.
- 3. Roll out bread dough between 2 pieces of lightly sprayed parchment paper to form a 12x16 rectangle. Remove top parchment leaving bottom parchment in place. (By leaving this, I have found it is much easier to get it transferred to the cookie sheet.) Cover loosely with plastic wrap lightly sprayed with Pam and let rest for 10-15 minutes.
- 4. Remove plastic wrap. On long sides, slice dough every 1 1/2" toward center leaving 5" wide center area uncut. (see photo) Spread raspberry filling in a 4" strip down center of dough leaving 1/2" plain before reaching side cuts. Also leave 1 1/2" at either end plain. Dot with cream cheese mixture.
- 5. Fold short ends over filling at either end. Then, alternating sides, fold strips over top of dough at slight angle. (see photo) Transfer pastry on parchment paper to cookie sheet. Cover loosely with sprayed plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
- 6. Remove plastic wrap and bake at 350 degrees for 18-25 minutes. Tent loosely if browning too quickly. (I use a very hot gas oven and oven temps vary, so watch closely.)
- 7. When done, remove from oven. Brush with a little melted butter. Microwave canned frosting until thinned. Drizzle desired amount over pastry. Sprinkle with chopped nuts, if desired. ( I find that this type of frosting works just as well as homemade powdered sugar glaze, setting up beautifully.)
- 8. Serving Suggestion: Cut into 1 1/2-2" strips. Drizzle pastry and plate with additional glaze, powdered sugar and/or a little thinned raspberry jam warmed in microwave. (see pics)

CHEESE DANISH CAKE
Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- 2. In a large bowl, combine dry cake mix and butter. Batter will be stiff. Spread in the bottom of a 13x9 pan.
- 3. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese and confectioners' sugar. Mix until smooth. Pour over cake mix layer.
- 4. Spread pie filling over cream cheese mixture.
- 5. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes or until cream cheese is set. Check every 5 minutes after 30 minutes.
- 6. Note: Sometimes I use 2 cans of pie filling.
- 7. Different flavor cake mixes and pie filling can be used for a different taste. Example: Use blueberry filling instead of cherry pie filling. Peach filling instead of cherry pie filling. Chocolate cake mix and cherry pie filling. Spice cake mix with apple pie filling. Lemon cake mix and lemon pie filling.
Tips:
- For a flaky crust, use cold butter and work it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
- When rolling out the dough, use a light touch and avoid overworking it. This will help keep the dough tender.
- If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle it with a little flour. However, be careful not to add too much flour, as this can make the dough tough.
- To prevent the filling from leaking out of the pastry, brush the edges of the dough with egg wash before baking.
- Bake the Danish until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. This will usually take about 30 minutes.
- Let the Danish cool slightly before serving. This will help the filling to set and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
With its flaky crust, creamy filling, and sweet glaze, Cheese Danish Cake is a delicious and versatile dessert that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are serving it for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, this cake is sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a special treat, give Cheese Danish Cake a try.
