A great Cream Cheese Filling Recipe like this one is essential. I can't think of any cake that wouldn’t benefit from this not too sweet, not too tart, yet really decadent companion.
It’s super easy, quick and foolproof and it really makes any cake a great culinary experience. Take a banana cake for example. Good all on its own, but if you fill it with Coconut Cream Cheese Filling and frost it with Coconut Lime Cheesecake Frosting you suddenly have something that is truly amazing.
Any of these variations can be used to frost or fill a cake. Mix and match them for hundreds of unique combinations.
