Hi Everyone!

I love to cook and bake and that's why I'm here. I'm looking for a recipe for French Cream Coffee Cake (Entenmanns) or made from scratch. I have a recipe for Crumb Cake with streusel topping, can I cut in half and add the french cream?

Thanks,

Mary

thanks for the recipe. Do you know if you make the basic crumb cake, if you could cut in half and add the french cream.

I'm also looking for the Sara Lee Poundcake recipe.

As far as answering your question about cutting a recipe in half - many recipes can be cut in half with no trouble - do you want to share or send it to me in a PM so I can see? It's hard to answer without seeing it.

I think what Mdmunster meant was could she cut the cake in half and add the cream. I am not sure, but that's what it sounds like to me.

[Kitchen Witch]

Could be - sometimes it's very hard to interpreet what someone is saying -

[mdmunster]

that's what I meant. I want to cut the crumb cake in half and fill with french cream. Would that be possible?

[Kitchen Witch]

Yes - just about any cake can be cut and filled. Sorry I misinterpreted it!

that's ok, I understand. I have those blonde moments as well
