Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Sour cream or plain yogurt
- 2 whole Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Fruit preserves (e.g., raspberry, strawberry, or apricot)
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (for optional glaze)
- 1 tablespoon Milk (for optional glaze)
- 0.25 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for optional glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it into an even layer.
Spoon the fruit preserves onto the batter in small dollops, then use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the preserves into the batter.
Top with the remaining batter, spreading it evenly over the swirled layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the coffee cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
If making the optional glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake before serving.
Slice and enjoy your Fruit Swirl Coffee Cake with your favorite drink!
