Ingredients
  

For the Cream Cheese Filling
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Ensure it's at room temperature for easier mixing and a smooth texture.
  • 1/4 cup Sugar This sweetens the filling; a sugar substitute can lighten it up.

  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda Essential for leavening, ensuring your cake rises nicely.
  • 1 pinch Salt Enhances the cake’s flavor profile, balancing the sweetness.
  • 3/4 cup Sour Cream Contributes to moisture and tenderness; Greek yogurt makes a great substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Adds depth of flavor to your scrumptious baked goods.
For the Topping

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan with butter or cooking spray. Line with parchment paper for easier removal.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with 1/4 cup of sugar until smooth. Incorporate the egg white and mix until blended.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Beat together 5.5 tablespoons of butter and 1/2 cup of sugar until light and fluffy. Add in one whole egg, yolk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla, mixing until fully combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with 3/4 cup of sour cream. Mix until just combined.
  6. Spread half of the batter evenly in the prepared pan, layer with cream cheese filling, raspberries, and then top with remaining batter.
  7. Combine 1/2 cup of flour, 1/3 cup of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of butter to create streusel, then sprinkle over the batter.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
