The next time you host a breakfast/brunch/lunch or dinner remember this ! It’s a true classic! You can even make it ahead of time and freeze it for future use… but don’t count on leftovers once it’s served. We guarantee that your guests will devour every last crumb.

Enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • 1 8-ounce package of organic cream cheese
  • 1 cup raw sugar
  • 1/2 cup softened organic butter or margarine
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 free range eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup organic strawberries
  • Sifted powdered sugar

Instructions:

  • Beat cream cheese, sugar and margarine with an electric mixer until fluffy
  • Add half of the flour, the eggs, milk, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda and salt
  • Beat for 2 minutes or until will mixed.
  • Beat in remaining flour
  • Spread the batter evenly in a greased 13×9x2-inch pan
  • Spoon 8-10 teaspoons of preserves onto the batter
  • Run a knife through the batter to spread the preserves for a marbled effect

Bake at 350° F for 30-35 minutes. Check for readiness by inserting a toothpick in the center of the cake. If it comes out clean then your cake is ready!

Cool slightly on a wire rack.

To serve, sprinkle sifted powdered sugar over the top of the cake and cut into squares. Add a fresh strawberry and a mint sprig for garnish and you’re ready to go!

Makes 24 servings… but, again, don’t count on leftovers. This cream cheese coffee cake is just that good!
