This Cream Cheese Coffee Cake is another super easy and incredibly delicious coffee cake recipe.

My favorite part of this coffee cake is the swirl of sweetened tangy cream cheese in the middle.

It’s a little like a layer of cheesecake running through the center – but much easier to make.

And what’s a coffee cake without a crumbly streusel topping? Here a simple sugar, flour and butter streusel topping gives a lovely texture contrast. Add a sweet milky glaze to finish and this is a coffee cake that’s guaranteed to please.

Although there are four parts to this recipe (the filling, the cake, the streusel, the glaze) it’s all very, very, easy. Why wouldn’t you make it?

One thing that this Cream Cheese Coffee Cake doesn’t have in it is any coffee. It’s a “coffee” style of cake, in that it goes very well with a cup of coffee.
