Cheese Topping For Coffee Cake Recipes

CHERRY CREAM CHEESE COFFEECAKE WITH STREUSEL CRUNCH TOPPING

Steps:

• Butter and flour a 9" square pan.*
• In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese until soft and smooth. Add the single egg and 1 tbsp sugar and continue to beat until creamy.
• In another bowl, place the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl and stir well.
• Cream butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl (I used my KitchenAid mixer) until fluffy and light. Add the eggs, one at a time, clearing well after each addition; then add the vanilla.
• Add about one third of the flour, and mix well.
• Next, add about a third of the yogurt/labne, and incorporate into the mixture. Continue two more times, until the flour and yogurt/labne is used, occasionally using a spatula to scrape the sides and bottom.
• Place half of the batter into the 9x9 pan. Spoon the jam evenly over the batter. Next, spread the cheese mixture over the jam layer. Spread the remaining cake batter over the top.
• Using a knife, swirl through the cherry cheese coffee cake to marbleize the inside layers. Now sprinkle the streusel topping over the cake.
• Bake for 50 minutes to an hour, or until cake tester comes out clean.
• Allow to cool slightly, before cutting. Serve warm with tea or coffee.

• Beat cream cheese, 1/2 cup white sugar, and 1 egg in another bowl until smooth. Spoon mixture into baking dish over dough. Drop remaining half of dough by spoonfuls over cream cheese mixture.

CREAM CHEESE-FILLED COFFEECAKE WITH FRUIT PRESERVES AND CRUMBLE TOPPING

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.
