Ingredients

• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 3 large eggs
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar

How to Make Berry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until well combined and smooth.
3. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy and smooth.
4. Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the batter, then sprinkle the mixed berries on top.
5. Pour the remaining cake batter over the cream cheese and berries, spreading it gently to cover.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. While the cake is baking, whip the heavy cream with granulated sugar and lemon zest until soft peaks form.
8. Once the cake is cool, spread the whipped cream over the top and garnish with fresh berries.
9. Slice and serve your Berry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake!

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy blending.
• Do not overmix the cake batter; mix just until combined for a light texture.
• Feel free to use any combination of berries you prefer or have on hand.
• For a more citrusy flavor, add a bit more lemon zest to the whipped cream.

Easy Variations

• Replace the mixed berries with other fruits like peaches, apples, or cherries.
• Add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the cream cheese mixture for a warm spice note.
• Use Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese for a lighter twist.

What to Serve With It

• Freshly brewed coffee or tea
• A light fruit salad
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream
• Maple syrup or honey for drizzling
