Raspberry cream cheese coffee cake

Karen is at it again. This time she made a delicious raspberry cream cheese coffee cake. Join us as Karen puts her hands to the task of creating a fantastic treat. Special thanks to Arron from Whatdoin? for sampling the finished product.
2 1/4 cups flour, 3/4 cup sugar, 3/4 cup margarine, 1/3 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 egg
3/4 cup sour cream, 1 tsp almond extract, 8 oz cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar 1 egg, 3/4 cup raspberry, blueberry or backberry preserves.
Mix flour and sugar. Add cold margarine using pastry blender, reserve 1 cup of mixture. To the large mixture add baking soda, baking powder, salt, egg, sour cream and almond extract. Spread batter in greased spring form pan and up 2 inches in pan. Batter will be gooey, if you oil your fingers it will help. Mix cream cheese, sugar and egg until well blended. Pour over batter in pan. Spread preserves on top (you may microwave preserves slightly to made spreadable) then top with reserved crumbs. Bake 350 for 45 to 55 minutes till golden brown. Cool 15 minutes. Remove sides from pan. Slice in 12 slices. These slices freeze well.
Karen and I are retired, living the dream of Grandchildren and not having to go to work each day. Can retired people really make KZbin Video's? Yes we can! Aren't you guys just to old and out of touch to do those things? NOT AT ALL!!! Will anyone in their right minds follow a channel made by old folks? My answer to that, “we don't have to be in our right minds anymore, we're retired”, but are you in your right minds to watch us?
Whether you are in your right mind or not, follow us as we Embrace the Journey, we're having fun, you should too. Help us old critters out and subscribe, we would love to take you along with us.
Find happiness in your life, we certainly try to. Embrace the Journey.

I’m convinced Karen would win first prize in any baking contest! Looks really good. Also love to see you all having fun with friends and sharing food…yummy sweet made with love and expensive egg dessert.

Karen says "thank you". She's not much into competition, just likes to provide delicious desserts to anyone who wants to try them. We do have fun getting together with friends and sharing food, conversation and lots of laughs. You guys would fit right on in. Have a great week, Tracie and enjoy each day.

I love raspberries! I saved this video so I could make this recipe. Personally, I will probably use the whole jar of raspberry jam in it though.

[@EmbraceTheJourney]

Put that whole jar in there, it will be super good!! I too, love raspberries, the more the better. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment.

Yum Yum!!!! Great video and great dessert!!!

[@EmbraceTheJourney]

Thank you so very much. I like when Karen does cooking video's

[@jenniferwilkins3825]

Recipe looks wonderful I was always taught tho... No rings. And wear Short sleeves. But hey. It's probably old school thinking now

[@EmbraceTheJourney]

When Karen had her restaurant, the health regulations were quite specific. No rings and always, gloves. Now, I suppose, if a friend finds a ring in their piece of cake, its a bonus.

I think it's highly suspicious that the cup is exactly placed that you can't see the cake. If it's so great, why wasn't it visualised?

[@EmbraceTheJourney]

That cup is Aaron’s KZbin channel name. A great channel!! And, I might add, a delicious coffee cake. Thanks for watching

Have you ever made it with fresh raspberries?

[@EmbraceTheJourney]

We have not, but I imagine it would be just as good with fresh raspberries. The raspberry preserves that we use don't have any seeds incorporated with them. Thanks for watching and thanks for your comment. As a kid, I would sit by my parents raspberry bushes and pluck those little wonders from the bush and pop them in my mouth. No telling how many bugs I may have eaten along with the berries, but it didn't matter, those fresh raspberries were so delicious.
