Strawberries and Cream Coffee Cake with Vanilla Cream Cheese Glaze

[heart_this] · Jun 17, 2013 · 31 Comments

Strawberries and Cream Coffee Cake with Vanilla Cream Cheese Glaze

A moist and tender strawberry sour cream coffee cake with a vanilla cream cheese glaze.

With the local strawberries in season I have been getting a lot of them every week and it was about time that I used them in a recipe rather than just snacking on them. I have been thinking about a strawberry coffee cake ever since I saw one on Averie Cooks and it was about time that I made one! I went with a pretty basic coffeecake recipe that relies on butter, sour cream and buttermilk to ensure that it is nice and moist and tender both right out of the oven and that it remains that way for a few days. This strawberries and cream coffeecake recipe could not be easier to make; you really just need to mix the dry ingredients, mix the wet ingredients, combine them, pour them into a baking pan and then bake. With less than 10 minutes of work you can have this coffeecake in the oven and be impatiently waiting for it to bake while your house fills up with the irresistible aromas of baking strawberries and vanilla! What a great way to enjoy fresh summer strawberries for breakfast!

  4. Pour the mixture into a greased 9 inch spring form pan or an 8 inch square pan and sprinkle on the turbinado sugar.

    I assume you used the same cream cheese glaze as the link you referenced since you didn't post the directions on how to make it here. At least I can't seem to find them.

    Desiree Greco: Turbinado sugar is a brown sugar with really big granules that adds a nice crunch to this coffeecake when sprinkled on top.

    for the record anything ive ever made from kevin is amazing, that bacon jam OMG what a treat. i once added it to a spinach and leek tart what a hit that was.. i also added a tbs of it to the tart dough for added flavor was amazing, got the idea from when you add cheddar to pie dough for apple pie same idea.

    Thanks for linking up to my cake, Kevin! I saw your post on FG and thought, wow, that looks like my recipe!!! And then I clicked over, and sure enough, you linked to me. Thanks!

    Your cake looks incredible. I love my version of the cake when I made it and yours looks stunning. Soft, fluffy, and plenty of glorious, drippy icing!

    Such a pretty cake! It would be perfect to serve at brunch. Local strawberries are the best – nothing like store bought.

    Do you drizzle the frosting when the cake is hot or cooled?

    Kevin,

    I've now made this twice (once for Easter and once for work, just because) and both times it's been wonderful! I love that it's a strawberry cake that isn't super sweet, my mum is diabetic (insulin dependent) so it was great to find a 'cake' recipe that's not super sweet! 😀

    I made this recipe last night in an 8 x 8 pan, cut it into 9 pieces. My husband promptly are 4 of them. I think he likes it. Worth noting, I substituted orange juice for the milk in the glaze. Delicious.
