UPSIDE-DOWN COFFEE CAKE
This is a gorgeous moist and gooey coffee cake! Use any type of fresh or frozen fruit, or combination of 2 fruits. Peach, cherry, blackberry and/or red raspberry are some of the best. The deep baking pan is required due to the bubbling caramel sauce and the height of the cake. Every time I serve it I get rave reviews!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Use a deep sided 10 inch pan, or wrap the outside of a 10 inch springform pan with aluminum foil to prevent leaking. Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar and 1/2 cup butter. Bring to a boil, then pour into bottom of springform pan. Sprinkle with sliced peaches.
- In a large bowl, cream together 2/3 cup margarine and the white sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk. Pour batter over caramel and fruit in pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 90 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto serving platter and carefully remove pan. Be extremely careful of hot caramel and fruit juices! Serve warm.

CREAM CHEESE-FILLED COFFEECAKE WITH FRUIT PRESERVES AND CRUMBLE TOPPING
If you understand how to vary the recipe, you only need one basic coffeecake in your repertoire. My all-purpose version consists of four components: batter, cream cheese filling, fruit preserves and crumb topping. The last three can be changed (or in some cases, omitted) to create a custom cake.

Steps:
- Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9-inch square metal baking pan with cooking spray. Fold a 17-inch length of heavy-duty foil to 8 1/2 inches wide and fit in the pan bottom and up 2 sides, so you can use the foil overhang as a handle to pull the baked cake from the pan.
- Topping: Use hands to thoroughly mix ingredients in a medium bowl, pressing together to form large clumps; set aside.
- Cream cheese filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until thoroughly mixed. Beat in egg and vanilla until smooth; set aside.
- Cake: Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
- Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer set on medium-high until light and fluffy. Beat in egg until smooth. Beat in half the dry ingredients, then the remaining yogurt. Beat until ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Spread batter evenly over prepared pan. Spread cream cheese filling over batter. Dollop fruit filling (or sprinkle chocolate chips) over cream cheese filling. Finally, sprinkle evenly with crumble topping, pressing on it lightly to adhere.
- Bake until batter is fully set and topping is golden brown, about 45 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. Run a thin-bladed knife around the sides, then use foil handles to pull cake from pan onto the wire rack. Cool to room temperature and serve. Can be covered with foil and stored at room temperature for one day.

FRESH FRUIT COFFEE CAKE
This is a coffee cake you can make with just about any fresh fruit that sounds good. I have had it made with Raspberry/Strawberry and recently made it Christmas morning as a Blueberry/Pear Coffee Cake. I would recommend using fresh fruit and not cheating by using the canned variety. It's a recipe by Lou Seibert Pappas from the book Coffee Cakes, Simple Sweet and Savory.

Steps:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 250°F. Brush loaf pans lightly with oil, then line bottom and sides with foil, pressing corners to help adhere.
- Sift together flour, cinnamon, salt, cloves, and nutmeg into a large bowl.
- Toss currants and raisins with 2 tablespoons flour mixture in a bowl. Stir together coffee and baking soda in a small bowl until dissolved.
- Beat together with butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 5 to 7 minutes. Add eggs, 2 at a time, beating well after each addition, and beat in molasses. Reduce speed to low, then add flour mixture and coffee mixture alternately in batches, beginning and ending with flour mixture and mixing until just smooth. Fold in dried fruit mixture.
- Divide batter between loaf pans and smooth tops by gently rapping bottom of each pan against counter.
- Bake until a wooden pick or skewer inserted in center of each cake comes out clean, 2 3/4 to 3 1/4 hours (cakes may sink slightly in center). Cool pans on racks 10 minutes, then loosen foil from sides of pans with knife and turn out cakes onto racks. Peel off foil and cool cakes completely, about 3 hours.
Tips:
- Choose the right fruit: For a classic fruit coffee cake, choose fruits that are in season and have a good balance of sweetness and tartness. Some popular choices include apples, berries, peaches, and plums.
- Prepare the fruit properly: Before adding the fruit to the batter, be sure to wash it thoroughly and remove any pits or seeds. If using fresh fruit, you may also want to peel it. If using frozen fruit, thaw it completely before using.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the coffee cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the coffee cake at the right temperature: The ideal baking temperature for coffee cake is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This will allow the cake to rise evenly and prevent it from becoming too brown.
- Let the coffee cake cool before serving: Once the coffee cake is done baking, let it cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will allow the cake to set and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Fruit coffee cake is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. With so many different recipes to choose from, there's sure to be a fruit coffee cake that everyone will love.
