A classic treat with a rich and creamy filling!
Who says you can’t have cake for breakfast? We’re pretty sure that all you have to do is call it a coffee cake and you’re good to go.

This Cream Cheese Coffee Cake feels indulgent without being totally over the top and is the perfect choice for brunch, an afternoon coffee break, or even dessert. Let get into how it’s made…
The star of this recipe is truly the cream cheese filling. Two packages of cream cheese are whipped together with a little sugar, vanilla, and an egg for rich and tangy notes in every bite. It’s layered over a base of cake batter then swirled into the top layer of cake. Top it all off with a sweet and subtle streusel that has just a hint of cardamom. The flavors here really can’t be beat!
This Cream Cheese Coffee Cake is the kind of recipe that feels classic and comforting, but with just enough of a twist to keep it exciting. It’s easy enough for a casual weekend bake but impressive enough to bring to any gathering. Plus, it holds up beautifully if you want to make it a day ahead—if you can resist slicing into it right away, that is! Whether you enjoy it with a steaming cup of coffee, a glass of cold milk, or just on its own, this cake is guaranteed to bring a little extra sweetness to your day.
