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 large Egg White Binds the mixture; a whole egg may add a richer flavor.
For the Cake Batter
  • 5.5 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Adds moisture and richness; can be swapped with margarine if you're in a pinch.
  • 1/2 cup Sugar Sweetens the cake; feel free to reduce for a less sweet option.
  • 1.5 cups All-Purpose Flour Forms the cake structure; use a gluten-free baking blend for gluten-sensitive adaptations.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Essential for leavening, ensuring your cake rises nicely.
  • 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
  • 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour Helps create that delightful streusel topping; opt for gluten-free flour as needed.
  • 1/3 cup Sugar Sweetens the streusel, adding a lovely crunch to the top.
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Incorporated until crumbly to form a delicious streusel texture.
Fruits & Berries

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.
