Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffeecake

By rossboys

And just another thing, since I often get the question if it is possible to use a substitute in place of the sour cream (although the sour cream makes the cakes super moist) if you don’t like it, you can use thick Greek yogurt, it works well instead of sour cream.

Ingredients

• For the filling:
• 8 oz. cream cheese-softened
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 egg white
• 1 cup raspberries-washed and well drained
• For the cake:
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 5.5 Tablespoons unsalted butter- softened
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup sour cream (or thick Greek yogurt)
• For the streusel topping:
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup flour
• 3 tablespoons butter-chilled and cubed
