I made this coffee cake from scratch and
it was well worth the steps it took to complete it!
It would be great turned into muffins as well.
Cream Cheese Coffee Cake
The beginning of deliciousness…
This is so easy!
You’re going to start combining your ingredients…
The sugar…
the cake flour, salt, baking powder and soda…
add the eggs one at a time…
the buttermilk…
the vanilla…
why yes…
I always pour mine straight from the bottle like so…
EVERY time…:)
You’ll now spread 1/2 of the batter in your prepared 9 x 13 pan…
Set the other 1/2 of the batter aside while you make the filling…
The delish filling ingredients…
Cream the cream cheese, egg and sugar for 3 minutes…
It will be light and creamy like this…
Drop by tablespoonfuls like so onto the batter…
Smooth very carefully with the back of a spoon…
Now, drop the remaining batter on the filling…
and spread with the spoon as well…
Now make the crumb topping…
Combine the flour, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt
and softened butter in a very large bowl…
the best way to mix this is with your hands…
it’s gooey, I know, but it’s the best way to get the butter completely incorporated with all the ingredients….
Spread the topping over the top of the cake…
It looks and feels like our beach sand 🙂
Bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes…
It will be perfect like this!
Look at it…just hanging out in front of my new
Pioneer Woman Cookbook my sweet children
got me for Christmas!!
It’s just sitting there in all it’s glory with that ooey gooey filling just waiting for a fork…
sigh…
