Celebrate National Pound Cake Day march 4th - Pound Cake Giveaway and Packed Paninis Recipe! {CLOSED}

Mmmm, dessert. My mouth is watering now. I'm trying to watch what I eat lately, but I can't help but be tempted by desserts. Lucky for me {and for you too!}, soon I'll have an excuse to give in.

Did you know that there is a National Pound Cake Day? I sure didn't!

But it's true. March 4th is National Pound Cake Day. That's next Friday, so there is still plenty of time to get your goodies and celebrate this fun and delicious event!

Sara Lee offers a variety of different pound cake options, including a reduced fat one! They also offer several yummy pound cake recipes right on their website! They all look so delicious so it was really hard to decide which one I wanted to make in celebration of National Pound Cake Day. As indecisive as I am, I finally came up with one that I'll share with you below!

Packed Paninis

Pound cake is filled with a sweet mixture of peanut butter and cream cheese and is grilled to perfection.

*Prep Time:
20 min
* Cook Time:
10 min

Ingredients

* 1 (16 ounces) package Sara Lee® Frozen Pound Cake
* 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
* 3 ounces cream cheese softened
* 2 tablespoons caramel topping
* 1/4 cup butterscotch chips
* 1/4 cup raisins
* 1/4 cup pecans chopped
* 1 small banana sliced
* 2 tablespoons butter melted

Directions

1. Cut pound cake into 16 slices.
2. Combine peanut butter, cream cheese and ice cream topping, mixing until well blended. Stir in butterscotch chips, pecans and banana.
3. Spread one pound cake slice with peanut butter mixture; cover with second slice of pound cake. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
4. Brush both sides of the panini with butter. Grill sandwich on a panini grill about 2-3 minutes or until crisp and golden brown.

Cook’s Tip: If you don’t have a panini grill you can use a large non-stick skillet to cook the sandwiches.
