Ingredients

For the Coffee Cake:

  • 2/3 cup Butter at room temperature
  • 1 2/3 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 2/3 cup Light Sour Cream
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1 tablespoon Vanilla or 2 teaspoons Vanilla Paste
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 1/4 cup Baking Soda
  • 1 12.5 ounce jar of Raspberry Peach Champagne Jam (or your favorite jam)
  • 8 ounces of 1/3 Less Fat Cream Cheese at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 Egg

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Butter
  • about 2 tablespoons Milk

Instructions

  1. Heat your oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Place the butter, granulated sugar, and sour cream in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat on a medium speed until light and fluffy, this will take about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one by one. Then add the vanilla and baking soda. Gradually add the flour while the mixer is running.
  3. Next, prepare the cream cheese filling. Whisk the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and egg together.
  4. Pour half of the batter into a greased loaf pan or bundt pan. Next, add the cream cheese mixture, and spoon the jam on top. Then pour the remaining batter over the top.
  5. Bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool before adding the glaze.
  6. For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, butter, and 1 1/2 tablespoons of milk. Continue to add milk until the glaze is pourable but still thick.
  7. Once the coffee cake has cooled, drizzle with the glaze.

Recipe Notes

You can opt to top the coffee cake with a vanilla glaze, or leave it plain. I think that the glaze looks pretty on the mini coffee cakes, so I added it. I left the loaf of coffee cake unglazed. Even with the glaze, the coffee cakes are not overly sweet.
