Raspberry Cheesecake Crumb Cake Recipes

RASPBERRY CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• To make the crust, combine the graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter until moistened. Pour into a 9-inch springform pan. With your hands, press the crumbs into the bottom of the pan and about 1-inch up the sides. Bake for 8 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
• Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees F.
• To make the filling, cream the cream cheese and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Reduce the speed of the mixer to medium and add the eggs and egg yolks, 2 at a time, mixing well. Scrape down the bowl and beater, as necessary. With the mixer on low, add the sour cream, lemon zest, and vanilla. Mix thoroughly and pour into the cooled crust.
• Bake for 15 minutes. Turn the oven temperature down to 225 degrees F and bake for another 1 hour and 15 minutes. Turn the oven off and open the door wide. The cake will not be completely set in the center. Allow the cake to sit in the oven with the door open for 30 minutes. Take the cake out of the oven and allow it to sit at room temperature for another 2 to 3 hours, until completely cooled. Wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Remove the cake from the springform pan by carefully running a hot knife around the outside of the cake. Leave the cake on the bottom of the springform pan for serving.
• To make the topping, melt the jelly in a small pan over low heat. In a bowl, toss the raspberries and the warm jelly gently until well mixed. Arrange the berries on top of the cake. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Note: Measure your springform pan. The bottom of mine measures 9 inches, but it says 9 1/2. I put the springform pan on a sheet pan before putting it in the oven to catch any leaks.

RASPBERRY-CREAM CHEESE CRUMB CAKE RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• For the coulis: Put all the ingredients in medium sauce pan and cook over medium (not high!) heat until fruit is mostly dissolved and mixture has reduced a bit as well as thickened up; about 30 minutes or more. Strain through a fine mesh sieve, pushing down on the solids. You might have to let this sit for a while to finish draining-it takes a while. Don't forget to scrape off the bottom side of the sieve for all the juicy, thickened pulp. Discard the seeds. Taste and add more sugar or lemon juice if needed; it shouldn't need anything. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. For the crumb topping: In a medium bowl, combine all dry ingredients, pour melted butter over mixture, and toss with a rubber spatula until large crumbs form. Set aside Cream cheese mixture 8 ounces cream cheese, room temp. 1 large egg yolk 3 TB white sugar 1 TB fresh lemon zest 2 TB or more of the coulis (optional, but wonderful) For the cream cheese mixture: Mix all in a bowl (really well) until ready to use. For cake: Place rack in center of oven, and heat oven to 350°. Lightly butter a 9 x 13 baking pan and dust with flour, and tap to remove excess. (I've also used the Pam with Flour and it worked just fine). Set aside. In a medium bowl, sift together 2 ¼ cups flour, add in the granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt; set aside. In a second bowl, whisk together egg, butter, half & half, canola oil, sour cream, and vanilla. Using a rubber spatula, fold dry ingredients into wet mixture. Spread batter evenly into prepared pan, and set aside. (to keep batter from sticking to your hand or spoon, just wet or oil your fingers or a spoon and spread evenly throughout pan). The batter should be about half an inch high. It will cook/rise to an inch thick. (Don't worry if the batter is very thin and hard to get into the corners, it does spread out as it's cooking). Use wet fingers to push batter into corners. Next put on the cream cheese mixture either in one single layer, clumps or vertical lines. You can make swirls if you want too, I did not. Next add on the crumbs. Then drizzle on the coulis (if it helps put the coulis in a pastry bag and draw lines). Then transfer pan to oven, and bake for 14 minutes, rotate pan. Then cook another 10 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean. Check cake at 25 minute mark for sure. Let cake cool and set up before slicing. Using a serrated knife or bench scraper, cut into 3-inch squares. Store in an airtight container for up to 2-4 days. cake:
