  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. each: ground nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, allspice
  • 1 (8oz) package cream cheese
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • Streusel Topping:
  • 1/4 cup of brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup butter (semi-soft)
  • 1 Tbl. cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Cream the butter and sugar in a medium sized bowl fitted with a paddle attachment for 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs & sour cream and beat for another 3 minutes.
Sift together in a separate bowl: flour, baking powder, salt, and spices & add to creamed mixture, mix on low just until combined.
Spread 1/2 of the batter into the bottom of a greased spring form pan.
Cream Cheese Filling:
Mix cream cheese with the egg yolk for 1 minute, add sugar and vanilla and mix to combine.
Spread filling mix over coffeecake mix. Spoon remaining 1/2 of coffee cake mixture over top.
Stresuel topping :
Combine all ingredients, using your fingers or fork to cut the butter into the topping mixture until it resembles crumbles. Sprinkle over top.
Bake for 50-55 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack and run a knife around the pan before you remove it.

NOTE: I used a 6 inch spring form pan. You can use a different size pan you are just going to have a much thinner coffee cake in the end.
