Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake with a hint of almond flavor, sliced almonds, raspberry jam, and a sweet glaze is a delicious coffee cake for the holidays.
Made in a 9-inch springform pan, this Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake rises high and has a tender, buttery crumb. This from-scratch coffee cake is covered with a rich cream cheese layer, raspberry jam, and sliced almonds.
The combination of almond extract and sliced almonds gives this coffee cake lots of almond flavor. Serve with a few fresh raspberries for a delicious addition to a brunch or nibble on a slice with your morning coffee.
Tips For Making Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake:
- I use White Lily All-Purpose Flour, which is a southern flour with a low protein content. It is perfect for tender, baked goods. If you can’t find it, use cake flour.
- The batter is very thick and you will need to spread it with either your fingers or a rubber spatula sprayed with cooking spray.
- You could easily substitute strawberry, peach, apricot, or blueberry jam for the raspberry jam.
- If you don’t like almond flaovr, try using 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract instead of the almond extract and use pecans or walnuts instead of sliced almonds.
- If you don’t have a springform pan, you can make this coffee cake in a 9-inch cake pan, but it needs to be a deep one since the coffee cake will rise quite a bit.
- Place the pan you are baking it in on a baking sheet just in case any batter overflows or leaks out. You don’t want a mess on the bottom of your oven.
