    Oh boy, cream cheese in the cake. That sounds like it would give it a wonderful flavor and texture. I have a linky party on my blog every Saturday called "Sweets for a Saturday" and I'd like to invite you to stop by this weekend and link this up.

    Hi Carol

    How long does the cake cool in the pan before I invert it.
