Equipment: 10'' Bundt Tin
Ingredients
Cream Cheese Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon rum (optional)
Fruit Cake
- 1 Pack Karley's Dawta Real Jamaican Fruit Cake Mix
- 3 eggs
- 1 and 1/2 stick butter (6ozs)
Optional Cream Cheese Icing
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon rum (optional)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 365°F. Grease a 10 inch bundt pan with baking spray or butter and flour it. Set aside.
- Prepare cream cheese filling first. In a stand mixer, beat cream cheese, butter, and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add egg, flour, and vanilla and continue beating until smooth. Set aside while preparing cake batter.
- In medium bowl, prepare Karley’s Dawta Real Jamaican Fruit Cake Mix by following instructions on the packet.
- Pour half of cake batter into prepared bundt pan. Top evenly with cream cheese filling, leaving a 1-inch border around edge of pan. Top with remaining cake batter.
- Insert a butter knife into cake batter and lightly swirl cream cheese filling into cake. Do not swirl too much; you just need to swirl knife a couple of times through layers.
- Bake for 35 - 40 minutes, until center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow cake to cool completely (in bundt pan) before inverting onto cake plate.
- While cake cools, prepare icing. Beat the powdered sugar, cream cheese, heavy cream, and vanilla extract together for 2 minutes, until well combined. Place in a piping bag and pipe on to top of cooled cake. Serve immediately, and store leftovers in the refrigerator.
