Amish Winter Bliss!!!

Step 4: Layer the Dessert

1. Spread half of the cake batter evenly in the prepared baking dish.
2. Carefully dollop and spread the cream filling over the batter.
3. Drop spoonfuls of the remaining cake batter over the filling. It’s okay if it looks patchy; it will bake into a marbled, layered effect.

Step 5: Add the Topping

In a small bowl, mix the chopped nuts, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the cake batter. This adds a delightful crunch and extra wintery sweetness.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake (not the filling) comes out clean. The filling may look soft, but it will set as the dessert cools.

Step 7: Cool and Serve

Allow the dessert to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, garnish with additional whipped cream if desired. Cut into squares or rectangles for a beautiful, rustic presentation.

Tips for Success

• Room temperature ingredients help the batter blend more smoothly.
• If you don’t have buttermilk, mix 1 cup milk with 1 tbsp lemon juice and let it sit for 5 minutes.
• For a festive touch, add dried cranberries or raisins to the cream filling.
• Serve slightly chilled for cleaner slices, or warm for a comforting winter treat.
