Raspberry Cream Cheese Crumb Cake
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 3/4 cups of flour, 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the cold butter pieces and mix with a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside 1 cup of the crumb mixture for topping.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, milk, vanilla extract, and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- In another bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon zest, and the remaining 1/4 cup of flour until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the batter. Sprinkle the raspberries over the cream cheese layer, then sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture on top.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
