Best Sister Schuberts Berry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake Recipes

TRIPLE BERRY CREAM CHEESE COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350F. Spray bottom and sides of an 8-inch springform pan.
• Make the filling: In a large bowl using an electric hand mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy. Beat in egg until well combined. Set aside.
• Make the cake: In a separate large bowl, whisk flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda until well combined. In another large bowl using an electric hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugars on medium- high speed 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy. Stir in egg, then stir in sour cream and vanilla. Stir flour mixture gradually into butter mixture until batter is just combined.
• Spread two-thirds of batter into bottom of prepared pan. Pour and spread cream cheese filling over top. Sprinkle with berries. Top with dollops of remaining one-third batter; spread gently with a spatula as best as you can without crushing the berries (it's OK if the batter doesn't completely cover the berries and cream cheese).
• Make the streusel topping: In a small bowl, stir flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and butter until well combined and mixture looks like wet sand. Sprinkle evenly over top of cake.
• Bake 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes until top of cake is a deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely in pan on a cooling rack. Run a paring knife around edge of cake before gently loosening from pan.
• Store tightly covered in refrigerator for up to 3 days.

BERRY CREAM CHEESE CAKE

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350.F. Butter or coat an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick spray. Line the pan with a strip of parchment paper that hangs over two of the edges.
• In a large bowl, whisk the brown sugar and eggs until pale and foamy, about 1 minute. Add the sour cream, butter, vanilla, and salt. Whisk until smooth and emulsified.
• Add the flour, baking powder, and baking soda to the bowl. Whisk until well-combined and smooth.
• Use your fingers to break up the cream cheese into teaspoon-size pieces and scatter them over the top of the batter. Fold in the cream cheese and ½ cup (80g) of the berries.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan, tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles, and smooth the top of the batter with an offset spatula. Scatter the remaining berries over the top and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar.
• Bake the cake until puffed and golden, and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 45 minutes. Set the cake on a rack to cool for about 15 minutes. Then use the parchment paper to lift the cake out of the pan and set it on the rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature. (Store the cake, wrapped tightly, in the fridge, for up to three days.)
• Flavor Variations
• Cranberry cream cheese cake: Substitute 1 cup (100g) fresh or frozen whole cranberries for the mixed berries. Fold half into the batter and sprinkle half on top.
• Apricot and berry cream cheese cake: Substitute a combination of 1 cup sliced apricots (170g) and 1/2 cup (80g) berries for the mixed berries. Make sure to save a few slices of apricots for the top.
• Use Another Pan
• Loaf: Fold 1 1/4 cups (200g) berries into the batter and sprinkle 1/4 cup (40g) over the top. Bake the cake in a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan until puffed and golden, and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes.
• Round: Bake in a 9-inch round pan until puffed and golden, and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes.
