A favorite recipe of mine from my cookbook, Baking for the Holidays, is the Streusel Coffee Cake, found in the Morning Baking chapter. I have always loved coffee cake, with its tender cake base, topping of streusel, and thick coat of icing.
It's hard to find a perfect piece of it, though – all the streusel and icing can cause its flavor profile to be just too sweet. After much testing, I found using my white cake base gives it a tender crumb, and a swirl of cream cheese lends some needed tang. I have the recipe for you on the blog, with a raspberry variation that I also love. Swirling with lemon curd is also a delicious option.
