Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake

(from champ_21’s recipe box)

  • I tried making this in 1 spring form pan as instructions indicate. This resulted in a really large cake with too much crust vs. filling. Louise divides batter and pours into 2 separate pie pans; try this next time.

Prep time: 25 minutes
Cook time: 180 minutes
Serves 16 people

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup butter or margarine
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp. almond extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup raspberry preserves
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottom and side of 9- or 10-inch spring form pan with shortening or cooking spray; lightly flour. In large bowl, mix flour and 3/4 c. of the sugar. With pastry blender or fork, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Reserve 1 cup of crumb mixture.

  2. To remaining crumb mixture, stir in baking powder, baking soda, salt, sour cream, almond extract, and 1 of the eggs until well blended. Spread batter in bottom and 2 inches up side (about 1/4 in. thick) of pan.

  3. In another small bowl, beat cream cheese, remaining 1/4 c. of sugar, and 1 egg until well blended. Pour into batter-lined pan. Carefully spoon preserves evenly over cream cheese mixture. In another small bowl, mix reserved crumb mixture and sliced almonds; sprinkle over preserves.

  4. Bake 45-55 mins. or until cream cheese filling is set and crust is deep golden brown. Cool 15 mins. Remove side of pan; leave coffee cake on pan bottom. Serve warm or cool. Store in refrigerator.
