GREEK YOGURT CREAM CHEESE LEMON COFFEE CAKE RECIPE - (4.4/5)



GREEK YOGURT CREAM CHEESE LEMON COFFEE CAKE Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by DeliciouslyDished

Number Of Ingredients 21

Cream Cheese Layer
8 ounces Greek Yogurt Cream Cheese, softened (regular cream cheese is fine too)
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Coffee Cake
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
zest of one lemon
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Crumb Topping
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cold cubed butter
powdered sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare an 8 x 8 inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper, leaving extra paper hanging over two of the sides. If you don't have parchment paper, spray the dish with non-stick cooking spray. In a medium bowl, stir together cream cheese, sugar, egg, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy. Set aside. In another medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, mix oil and sugar. Add egg and mix well. Add Greek yogurt, lemon zest and lemon juice. Mix well on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the flour mixture to the batter and mix until incorporated on low speed. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth it out to the edges. Carefully spread the cream cheese mixture over the top of the batter, spreading it almost to the edges. To make the crumb topping, pour the flour, sugar and cold cubed butter into a medium bowl, and using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut the butter into the flour and sugar until you are have pea sized crumbs of flour coated butter. Pour the crumb mixture over the cream cheese layer. Bake the coffee cake at 350 degrees for 37-40 minutes. Allow to cool, and then dust with powdered sugar. Remove from the dish using parchment paper to a cutting board, and cut into 16 squares.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemon zest and juice give the coffee cake a bright, citrusy flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter can make the coffee cake tough. Mix the ingredients until they are just combined, then stop.
  • Don't overbake the coffee cake. The coffee cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If you overbake the coffee cake, it will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the coffee cake cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cake to set.
  • Serve the coffee cake with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include powdered sugar, whipped cream, and fresh berries.

Conclusion:

This lemon cream cheese coffee cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat. It's perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. With its moist crumb, tangy lemon flavor, and creamy cheese filling, this coffee cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
