I debated posting this recipe guys. Not because it wasn’t delicious, but because there are quite a bit of steps involved and the hubby wasn’t very fond of this cake recipe. But my son and I loved it, so I decided that you’ll needed to make you’re own opinions.

Normally my hubby, Sean and I’s taste buds are in sync, but this dessert was an exception. He didn’t like all the flavors going on, but I loved them. When he told me he wasn’t crazy about it, I said I wasn’t going to post the recipe. Then my son had a slice and said, “ahhh mom this cake is so delicious.”

It’s okay that the hubby didn’t care for it, but my son and I did. That shows me that everyone has different tastes and I felt that if I didn’t post this recipe, then there were going to be people out there that would be missing out on a delicious piece of cake. And we can’t have that can we?

When you make this cake, I recommend you have all the ingredients sitting on your kitchen counter. It makes the process easier. Also think of this cake as 3 different layers,

  • coffee cake layer (bottom and top)
  • cream cheese layer
  • raspberry preserves layer

I like to know that I have different layers to work with. It makes it easier to make, in my opinion. I used a 9-inch spring foam pan, but you could use a 9-inch round baking dish, if you want. You just won’t be able to take the whole cake out of the pan. I also suggest that you refrigerate the cake due to the cream cheese layer. Take it out 30 minutes before serving, so the cake can come to room temperature.

When baking this cake, make sure you watch the time after the 45 minute mark. I actually baked mine about 10 minutes to long and wish I would have taken it out at the 1 hour mark. The bottom of my cake was a little to dark in my opinion. It didn’t affect the taste or anything, so no worries.
