We made a trip recently to a bakery that my niece was raving about! This family-owned bakery, Natale's specializes and is famous for this cake. Where did it get it's name? Philly, I assume comes from the cream cheese in the recipe. In the bakery case, these cakes look like an Angel Food cake dusted with powdered sugar - so what's the big deal? It's sweet, moist and buttery with a crisp brown crust and literally melts in your mouth - that's the big deal. 10 oz. cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened 1/2 cup vegetable shortening 2 cup all-purpose flour 2 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. salt 2 cup granulated sugar, divided 6 large eggs 1 tsp. vanilla extract Confectioner's sugar for dusting Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt or tube pan. 2. In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream together the cream cheese, butter and shortening on medium- high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. I think this is where the "Fluff" comes in. In a smaller bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture and mix on low speed until blended - it will be very thick. 3. Gradually add 1 cup of the sugar and the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla and the remaining 1 cup sugar and continue beating, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice, until the batter is smooth. The cake will settle while cooling - it's too pretty to turn over! 4. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 60 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack to 15 minutes. Invert the cake onto a platter and cool completely. Dust with a generous amount of confectioner's sugar.

This is where the best of the cake worlds collide – cheesecake meets moist cakes with flecks of sweet pineapple. The addition of cream cheese and crushed pineapple keeps this wreath soft and gooey inside. The hints of pineapple add extra sweetness. Just make sure you cool the cake for at least one hour to get the full, magical effect of this tasty, tangy dessert. Why is it called an impossible cake? An impossible cake gets its name because it makes the impossible possible - the layers invert while baking! While we love the magic of a tasty impossible cake, like this golden syrup impossible cake, this wreath gets its ‘impossible’ quality from the flavours rather than the structure of the cake. It still tastes equally as tasty, though!
