BLACKBERRY COFFEE CAKE

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line the bottom and sides of a 9 inch spring form pan with parchment paper.

Streusel topping:  In a large bowl, mix together 1/3 cup all purpose flour, 1/3 cup granulated white sugar, and ½ tsp ground cinnamon. Take ¼ cup cold butter, cut into pieces, and blend it into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or fork until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Cream Cheese filling:  In an electric mixer or food processor, beat the cream cheese until creamy and smooth. Add the rest of the filling ingredients and beat until very smooth.

  •  8 oz room temperature Philadelphia cream cheese
  •  ¼ cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 large egg
  •  ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 Tbl grated lemon zest
  • 1 Tbl all purpose flour

Cake batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. In the bowl of your electric mixer, with the paddle attachment, beat the butter until smooth and creamy. Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until incorporated. Add the flour mixture, alternately with the milk, and beat only until combined. Spread the batter onto the bottom, and slightly up the sides, of the prepared pan. Next, spread the cream cheese filling over the cake batter. Scatter the fresh berries over the filling and top with the streusel.

Bake for about 60 to 70 minutes or until the streusel is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.

You can replace the fresh black berries with raspberries, blueberries or strawberries.
