RASPBERRY CREAM CHEESE COFFEECAKE


Ingredients:

For the filling:

8 oz. cream cheese-softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg

1 cup raspberries-washed and well drained

For the cake:

1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 1/2 Tablespoons unsalted butter- softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup sour cream
     Sour cream makes the cakes super moist.
     If you don’t like it, you can use thick Greek yogurt instead.

For the streusel topping:

1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
3 tablespoons butter-chilled and cubed

Instructions:

•  Preheat oven to 350F

     Grease 8 or 9 inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
     You may also use a 9"x11" pan.
     Set aside.

•  To make the filling:

     Mix together the cream cheese and sugar on medium-low speed until creamy.
     Add egg & mix on low just to combine.
     Set aside.

•  To make the cake batter:

In a bow stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Set aside.
With an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar on medium-low speed.
Add eggs and vanilla.

Slowly mix in the flour mixture alternating with the sour cream.
Transfer the batter into the prepared pan and smooth with a spatula or spoon.
Spread the cream cheese filling on top.
Place raspberries onto cream cheese filling.

•  To make the topping:

Combine sugar, flour and chilled cubed butter in a bowl.
Stir with a fork or pastry blender until the mixture is crumbly.
(Make sure the streusel is in pea-sized crumbs.)

•  Sprinkle the streusel on top of raspberries.

•  Bake for 40-45 minutes.
Cool on a rack, then run a thin knife around the cake and loosen the rim of springform pan.

•  Store in the fridge.
