Philadelphia Blintz Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F.
• Beat Neufchatel, ricotta, 2 eggs, 1/4 cup sugar, lemon zest and juice in large bowl with mixer until blended.
• Whisk remaining eggs, sugar, flour, butter, milk and baking powder in separate bowl until blended. Spread 1/3 of the batter onto bottom of 13x9-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray; cover with Neufchatel mixture, then remaining batter.
• Bake 45 min. or until center is set.

Steps:

• Crepes: 1. Place the eggs in a large mixing bowl and break the yolks with a whisk. Add the remaining ingredients and whisk vigorously until there are no lumps, and the batter is smooth.
• 2. Preheat a 9" non-stick. Grease the pan lightly (use a paper towel to brush the oil to a thin layer, and you can use the oiled paper towel to brush the pan between crepes if necessary). Pour 1/3 of a cup of batter into the center of the pan, and use a swirling motion to spread it evenly. Let it rest until the edges begin to brown and bubbles appear on the surface. Loosen from the side of the pan and flip over. Press down on the crepe with a spatula to avoid burning. When done, flip onto a prepared plate. Repeat with the rest of the batter.
• Filling: Place all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix until combined.
• Blueberry Sauce: Bring blueberries, sugar and water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the dissolved corn starch and bring to a boil again. Remove from heat, stir and let cool to room temperature.
• To assemble: Place one crepe on your serving dish, spread a layer of filling over the crepe, going all the way to edge, repeat with 10 more layers, ending with a crepe.
• Pour blueberry sauce over top of the cake immediately before serving.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• With a whisk, beat eggs and milk together and add the salt. Gradually, a tablespoonful at a time, whisk in flour and beat until smooth. Heat a 6inch skillet and butter it lightly. Pour in enough batter to make a thin pancake. (If batter is too thick, add water to thin) Pour out excess back into the batter and don't worry if a "tab" forms on the side of the pan.
• Cook the blintz on one side only until the top blisters and it looks dry around the edges. Turn the blintz upside down onto a clean towel. Rebutter the skillet if need be, every 2 or 3 blintzes, and proceed until all the batter has been used up.
• Make assorted fillings, roll up and fry, or bake or freeze for another day.

Steps:

• Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. In medium bowl, stir all filling ingredients until well blended; set aside.
• In medium bowl, stir all batter ingredients with wire whisk or fork until well blended. Pour batter into baking dish. Pour filling evenly over batter. Cover; refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
• Heat oven to 325°F. Uncover baking dish; bake 55 to 60 minutes or until golden brown and center is set. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Top servings with sour cream and strawberry preserves.
