Weekend baking? You’ll want to add this Cream Cheese Coffee Cake to your list! Moist and buttery, it features a layer of rich and slightly tangy cream cheese – a perfect pairing for this sweet and tender cake. A crumbly buttery topping adds texture and great flavor too. The cake is dense, but each bite is moist and crumbly. Serve up a slice with your favorite cup of coffee for a wonderful treat.
There are three parts to this cake. First is the simple cake dough, but the one special ingredient is sour cream to give the cake that moist crumb. The other part is the cream cheese filling. Simply beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, and one egg until smooth. Then for the top of the cake, make a streusel with butter, pecans, flour, and sugar. Bake the cake until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool, then slice and serve!
To make the Cream Cheese Coffee Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with oil or butter.
In a bowl, sift together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon baking powder and set aside.
In a large bowl, cream ½ cup butter and 1 cup granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy.
Add 1 egg and beat until combined.
Add in 1 cup sour cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla and beat until combined.
Add in the dry ingredients and beat until the mixture forms a sticky dough.
Spread half of the dough evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
In a bowl, beat together 2 (8-oz) packages cream cheese, ½ cup granulated sugar, and 1 egg until smooth.
Spoon the prepared cream cheese filling over the dough.
Drop spoonfuls of the remaining dough evenly over the cream cheese filling.
In a bowl, combine ½ cup chopped pecans, ½ cup brown sugar, ⅓ cup of all-purpose flour, and ⅓ cup cold butter until crumbly.
Sprinkle the crumble topping over the dough.
Bake the cake for 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool completely.
Slice and serve. Enjoy!
