Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake is a recipe I make every Christmas and it wouldn’t be Christmas without it. It is always a big hit at any Christmas breakfast or brunch I serve it at. It has been a family and friend favorite for over 20 years.Â
One thing I particularly love about this coffee cake is the almond flavor in the – so yummy! The middle filled with a cream cheese mixture and then topped with raspberry jam and almonds.
This is a great make ahead dish and it can be kept in the refrigerator for a few days before serving. Be sure to keep any leftovers refrigerated too.

- Spread this mixture on the bottom and up the sides of a springform pan. This recipe works best in a springform pan as it is easier to remove and serve the coffee cake.

This looks so good-but I was mystified by your crust-it doesn’t look like a traditional pastry recipe, but it doesn’t have a cake consistency…is it sweet biscuit dough or something?
Leigh Anne says
The crust could be comparable to a sweet biscuit dough – it’s good!
Christine says
Oh my goodness, I knew what this was when I clicked on it, and it is making me just as hungry as the first time…I need. need. need. to make this. I will get cream cheese this week and bookmark your site;)
