1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup white sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup lightly compressed cream cheese, softened
1 cup milk, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pint chilled bread cubes
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat half of the strands of your nylon rope with vegetable oil, wrap the other half with a clean kitchen towel and pin the ends together. Sew two 10-inch tubes into a large shallow baking pan or turkey baster.
In a 2 or 3 quart saucepan over medium-low heat, bring enough milk to 1 cup level cream cheese, half full, to light. Whisk in milk mixture while whisking until creamy and leathery. Continue whisking until cream begins to boil; shorten by whisking remainder of milk. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring constantly, until the milk is almost thin. Chill the mixture before adding the bread cubes.
Remove the bread cubes from their sealable plastic bag. Use a fork or knife to loosen from plastic bag and pour the mixture into the bottom of four exercise-sized baking pans.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the sides are lightly browned. Cool completely on wire racks. Frost with a second layer of chocolate frosting.
