Bruegger’s Blueberry Greek Cream Cheese and Lemon Filled Crumb Cake

I was challenged by Bruegger's Bagels to turn one of their special edition Summer items into a new recipe that would delight their fans and our tastebuds! I was immediately drawn to their whipped blueberry greek cream cheese because duh, I friggin' love cream cheese but I wanted to put a little bit of a baking twist on it for y'all. 


For the crumbs
For the filling

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F
  2. Grease the sides and bottom of a 13x9x2-inch cake pan with butter.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the butter, flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Mix with your hands to form crumbs. Tip: Use a small handheld pastry blender or whisk to cut the butter into the mix. You’ll know you’ve succeeded when you see little crumbs forming throughout the mix.
  4. Take out just enough for crumbs on top of cake, 3/4 cup. Set aside. To the remaining crumbs add the eggs and milk; beat well. Your batter will be thick and sticky.
  5. Place all filling ingredients into a medium bowl and beat with a whisk or mixer until smooth.
  6. Spread half the batter into the cake pan. The batter is very thick and sticky but try to spread as evenly as possible.
  7. Pour the cream cheese mixture on top to within about 1/2-inch of the edges (this is to ensure it does not leak)
  8. Gently spread the remaining batter on top of the cream cheese . Again the batter is thick so try adding dollups evenly on top and spreading that way.
  9. Sprinkle the top with the reserved crumbs.
  10. Bake for 50 minutes or until cake tester inserted in center comes out clean.
  11. Remove from oven and set on a rack to cool.



I enjoyed this recipe with all in my house and over tea while I worked. It serves 12 but won't last long in a home that love sweets!
