I had my butter soft and was beginning to gather up ingredients to bake brownies and choc chip cookies for DH today. He called from work and I told him I was getting ready to bake when he asked what I was up to. So..he asked what I was baking, since I rarely bake, anymore, unless it's for a special occasion. (don't want to eat it!)

So I decided to tell him what I was going to make. He said, Oh..yum! Then, "Are those my only choices?!" and laughed!

Upon questioning him, and after assuring him Id bake him anything his heart desires, he said he'd really love to have the Pineapple Cake. haha

So, ladies, take my advice and ask. hehe I couldn't believe DH would rather have Pineapple Cake (someone posted recipe in T&T) than CC Cookies or Brownies! lol

Of course, had he not called he would have been overjoyed with the basket of cookies he'd gotten. He's never turned down a cookie or brownie yet! smileys/smile.gif

That Pineapple Cake really is good! Think I'll make it in my heart shaped pans! smileys/smile.gif

Happy Valentine's Day, friends!

This is an awsome recIpe, I am making it today too.

Here is the recipe & link

Krispy Kremey White-Chocolate Raspberry-Filled Cheesecake
Yield: 1 (10-inch) cheesecake
Preparation: 30 minutes

Bake: 55 minutes

Cool: 45 minutes
From Taste of the South, February/March 08

Recipe created by Lisa Robertson, King, North Carolina

Ingredients

For crust:
1/2 tablespoon butter
1 (2.25-ounce) package sliced almonds
1 dozen Krispy Kreme Original Glazed Doughnuts
For filling:
2 Krispy Kreme Glazed Raspberry-Filled Doughnuts
1 tablespoon raspberry-flavored liqueur, such as Chambord
2 cups fresh raspberries
1-1/2 cups white-chocolate morsels
4 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
4 eggs
3 egg yolks
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish: fresh raspberries and sweetened whipped cream
Directions

Wrap the bottom and sides of a 10-inch springform pan in foil. Butter the bottom and 2 inches up the sides of pan. Set aside.
In the work bowl of a food processor, roughly grind almonds. Pour almond pieces into prepared pan and swirl. Most of almonds will stick to buttered pan. Shake pan to evenly distribute loose almonds in bottom of pan.
Place doughnuts, one at a time, between 2 sheets of waxed paper. Using a rolling pin, roll to a 3/16-inch thickness. Cut flattened doughnuts in half and place in bottom of almond-lined pan, overlapping doughnuts slightly. (You’ll need 7 doughnuts for bottom of pan and 4-1/2 doughnuts for sides.) Use remaining 1/2 doughnut to fill in any bare spots. Cover your hand with plastic wrap and press doughnuts firmly into place.
Preheat oven to 350° F. Place a 13-x-9-x-2-inch pan, half-filled with water, on bottom rack of oven.
Cut raspberry-filled doughnuts into 1/2-inch cubes. Place in a small bowl and drizzle with raspberry-flavored liqueur. Add raspberries and stir gently. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave white chocolate morsels on 50% power for 45 seconds. Stir and repeat until chips are melted. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar on medium speed with an electric mixer. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Add egg yolks one at a time, mixing until just combined. Add flour and vanilla, and mix until combined. Stir in melted white-chocolate morsels.
Pour 2 cups batter into prepared crust. Spoon doughnut-raspberry mixture over batter in pan. Gently press into batter with the back of a spoon. Pour remaining batter on top.
Place pan in center of preheated oven and bake for 55 minutes. Turn off oven and let sit in oven for 45 minutes.
Serve at room temperature or chilled. Garnish with more raspberries and whipped cream, if desired.
