Cinnamon Roll Cream Cheese Coffee Cake

Yield: 16 servings
Prep: 35 min
Cook: 1 hour 10 min

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup 2% milk
  • cheesecake filling:
    • 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
    • 1/2 cup sugar
    • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    • 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • cinnamon filling:
    • 1 cup packed brown sugar
    • 1/3 cup butter, melted
    • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition. Spread three-fourths of batter into a greased 9-in. springform pan (batter will be thick). Set remaining batter aside.
  2. In another bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and flour until smooth. Beat in vanilla. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined. Pour over batter.
  3. Mix cinnamon filling ingredients. Drop by tablespoonfuls over cream cheese mixture. Cut through cream cheese filling with a knife to swirl the cinnamon filling. Drop reserved batter by tablespoonfuls over filling. Place pan on a baking sheet.
  4. Bake until center is almost set, 70-80 minutes. Cover top loosely with foil during the last 30 minutes if needed to prevent overbrowning. Cool on a wire rack 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around edge of pan to loosen. Cool 1 hour; remove sides of pan. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers.
