CREAM CHEESE-FILLED COFFEECAKE WITH FRUIT PRESERVES AND CRUMBLE TOPPING

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.

• Place all filling ingredients into a medium bowl and beat with a whisk or mixer until smooth.
• Spread half the batter into the cake pan (batter is very thick and sticky).
• Pour the cream cheese mixture on top to within about 1/2-inch of the edges.
• Gently spread the remaining batter on top of the cream cheese (I dropped little dollops of it all across the top, as it was so thick it didn't spread well, especially on top of liquid cream cheese).
• Sprinkle the top with the reserved crumbs.

• Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and kneed 8 to 10 times. Form dough into a fat rectangle shape.

• Lift dough onto a greased baking sheet.
• Spread a can of pie filling of your choice down the center of the dough.
• With a knife, cut strips about 1 inch apart down the sides. Fold the strips up and over the fruit filling at an angle.
• Mix the cinnamon and sugar. Sprinkle on the top evenly.
• Place in the preheated oven on the center rack. Bake for 15 - 17 minutes.
• Be sure and check it at about 8 minutes to see if the top is browning. If it has, place a piece of foil, lightly on top to prevent burning.
