Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake – Lightened-up, quick and easy Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake studded with fresh raspberries and finished off with a fluffy cream cheese topping. Only 210 calories per serving!
This post is sponsored by Dutch Farms! I used several of their products here, but most importantly, the “cream cheese”, a.k.a. Neufchatel Cheese on top! But who would click over for a cake that was named, Neufchatel Coffee Cake? ExactlY!
Also? HI-HEY, friends! How are you? Still Christmas shopping? I haven’t even started, yet.
Correction. I DID start, but I ended up buying things all for myself. Shameful, I know! BUT, in my defense, how do you pass up a 60% off Louis Vuitton bag? Right. You DON’T! And those SJP shoes… ♥
And then I made this cake, my guilt went away, and all things were right with the world.
This cake may or may not be the best thing to come out of my kitchen all month. It’s delicious. My Mom and I, the coffee and cake addicts that we are, ate the. whole. thing. As in, the whole cake. A little piece here, a little piece there, three more pieces for lunch, another after dinner… It adds up pretty quickly. And it’s easier to want to inhale it all when you know that it’s a lightened-up coffee cake. HOW much lighter?! 210 calories per slice. BAM!
This whole cake however wouldn’t be complete without the gold standard of Dutch Farms all-the-things. We have Dutch Farms Eggs in here, Dutch Farms Neufchatel Cheese, and Dutch Farms Butter.
Dutch Farms Inc. are a family-owned Chicago-based company with Dutch roots. For the reason that the Dutch have always been known for their dairy products, you can only imagine that at Dutch Farms, you will only find the best cheese, outstanding butter, and eggs. Yogurt, cheese, sour cream, and bacon, too. As well as Orange Juice and Whipped Topping. And more. In fact, they have every.thing.
SO. What do ya say? Shall we make a cake the Dutch Farms way? Of course we shall!
There’s really nothing to it. Classic buttery coffee cake holds everything together. Smooth neufchatel cream cheese mixed with an egg white is baked right on top, sweet raspberries are poured all over, and the whole thing is sprinkled with powdered sugar. It’s perfect weekend breakfast, Monday snack, and a Tuesday lunch.
I’m hoping with my fingers crossed that your mid-week includes this cake because it is the PERFECT coffee cake. Baked to a perfection with a layer of cloudy-like topping, it’s simply amaaaze! You’ll see.
