Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake....


My grandmother is an amazing cook. Today, while visiting her and my grandfather, she brought out this yummy dessert. It was so delicious, I had to take a picture and get the recipe! I am excited to make it myself soon (first I have to purchase a spring form pan). Thanks Grandma!!

2 1/4 Cup flour
3/4 Cup sugar
3/4 Cup margerine or butter

1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 egg

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese (softened)
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg

1/2 cup raspberry preserves
1/2 cup sliced almonds

Grease and flour bottom and sides of 9-10 inch springform pan.

In large bowl, combine flour & 3/4 cup sugar. Mix well. With pastry blender or fork, cut in margerine till mixed (will be like coarse crumbs).

Reserve 1 cup of crumb mixture. To remaining crumb mixture, add baking powder, baking soda, salt and sour cream, almond extract, and 1 egg. Blend well. Spread batter over bottom and 2 inches up sides of springform pan.
