My mother in law is coming to visit tomorrow and told me there better be a treat here waiting for her. Ok mom!   To Read More, Click On The Recipe Title.


Here it is, this is also going to be my entry for Ben's I Love Baking event. I love it when I can get 2 things done at once! This recipe came from RecipeZaar and was posted by Donna M. This is another very good coffeecake made in a 9 inch spring form pan! This little beauty has a cup of sour cream in the crust, cream cheese for a filling and raspberry preserves and a crumb topping on top. YUM! And again this was EASY. I took lots of pictures when I made it so lets get started.

I made the batter and put it into the spring form pan. I used a small spoon to get the batter up the sides of the pan 2".

I made the cream cheese filling and put it into the shell I made. It fit in very nicely!

The raspberry preserves went on top. I didn't have seedless preserves so I put the preserves through a sifter to get the seeds out.

The crumb topping is on and now it's time to bake!

  1. Is it really wrong to say something looks perfectly dreamy. Your cake is right up there with things I could dream about - recurring dreams even. Beautiful.

  12. Talk about Delicious! I don’t think I’ve drooled this much since the Love My Philly page. They have a lot of awesome recipes on there too like the Layer-after Layer Lemon Pie, Philly Mexican Dip, Salads, Cakes and even some Bread Recipes! They even have recipes you can use for barbecues! Who knew you could do so much with Cream Cheese? If you have the hankering for some awesome recipes, I would check it out for sure!

  13. I've been making this coffee cake for years - I think it's actually a Paula Deen recipe. The only difference is instead of preserves you use half a can of pie filling. My family's favorites are raspberry or strawberry rhubarb. I've also made it in a 9X13 pan - I use the same amount of cake ingredients but add an extra half a block of cream cheese to the filling and then use the whole can of pie filling. Very yummy!!

  15. This reminds me of a #Creamcheese #coffeecake The Hubby and I celebrate with on Christmas morning. It's our tradition. I may have to try baking this myself. But before that, I think any Mom would love this creation for #MothersDay.
