This from-scratch Cream Cheese Raspberry Coffee Cake is so easy and delicious, you’ll be making it over and over again!
I’m just going to come right out and admit it…
I’m not a huge fan of raspberries. GASP!!
It’s the small seeds that get stuck in my teeth that make me shy away from anything with raspberries in it.
I love the flavor, but those seeds… argh!
So when I stumbled across this recipe from Better Homes and Gardens that uses seedless raspberry preserves swirled into a moist cream cheese coffee cake…
Well, you better believe I made it! In fact, I made it twice! 🙂
Why did I not know about seedless raspberry preserves? I’m in love.
This cake was so deliciously moist and had just the perfect amount of sweetness from the raspberries.
I loved swirling the preserves all around the cake. How pretty is that?!
The cake bakes up in just 30 minutes and then it’s ready to slice in to!
What I love most about this cake is that it’s served warm with just a dusting of powdered sugar. You don’t have to wait for the cake to cool and then make a frosting to go on top. It’s simple, elegant and perfect for a quick weeknight dessert or family get-together!
If you’re not a fan of raspberries, you could substitute the raspberry preserves for strawberry or blueberry… or just about any type of preserve or jam you want!
Don’t forget to serve it with a few fresh berries on the side!
