CREAM CHEESE-FILLED COFFEECAKE WITH FRUIT PRESERVES AND CRUMBLE TOPPING



Cream Cheese-Filled Coffeecake With Fruit Preserves and Crumble Topping image

If you understand how to vary the recipe, you only need one basic coffeecake in your repertoire. My all-purpose version consists of four components: batter, cream cheese filling, fruit preserves and crumb topping. The last three can be changed (or in some cases, omitted) to create a custom cake.

Categories     Desserts     Cakes     Coffee Cake Recipes

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 18

¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup dark brown sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 tablespoons butter, melted but not hot
½ cup of your choice - coarsely chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, almonds), old-fashioned oatmeal or sweetened flaked coconut
8 ounces softened cream cheese
½ cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose bleached flour
1 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
½ cup sugar
1 egg
¼ cup plain low-fat yogurt
½ cup of your choice - raspberry or strawberry jam; peach, cherry, or pineapple preserves; apple butter; orange marmalade or mini chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9-inch square metal baking pan with cooking spray. Fold a 17-inch length of heavy-duty foil to 8 1/2 inches wide and fit in the pan bottom and up 2 sides, so you can use the foil overhang as a handle to pull the baked cake from the pan.
  • Topping: Use hands to thoroughly mix ingredients in a medium bowl, pressing together to form large clumps; set aside.
  • Cream cheese filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until thoroughly mixed. Beat in egg and vanilla until smooth; set aside.
  • Cake: Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer set on medium-high until light and fluffy. Beat in egg until smooth. Beat in half the dry ingredients, then the remaining yogurt. Beat until ingredients are fully incorporated.
  • Spread batter evenly over prepared pan. Spread cream cheese filling over batter. Dollop fruit filling (or sprinkle chocolate chips) over cream cheese filling. Finally, sprinkle evenly with crumble topping, pressing on it lightly to adhere.
  • Bake until batter is fully set and topping is golden brown, about 45 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. Run a thin-bladed knife around the sides, then use foil handles to pull cake from pan onto the wire rack. Cool to room temperature and serve. Can be covered with foil and stored at room temperature for one day.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This helps the batter mix more evenly and results in a more tender cake.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This incorporates air into the batter, which helps the cake rise.
  • Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition: This prevents the batter from curdling.
  • Sift the dry ingredients together before adding them to the wet ingredients: This ensures that they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This helps the cake rise evenly.
  • Check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center: If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This helps the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Coffee cake with cream cheese filling is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist crumb, sweet and tangy filling, and crunchy streusel topping, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
