Cake:
- 2 and ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup butter room temperature
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- ¼ cup amaretto
- ⅔ cup buttermilk room temperature
Filling:
- 16 -ounces cream cheese room temperature
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg room temperature
Streusel:
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

- 2 and ½ cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
For Cake:
- Preheat oven to 325°F oven
- Spray a 9x13-inch cake pan, a 12-inch springform pan, or (2) 8-inch round cake pans with non-stick spray. (Cooking times for these 3 size pans are the same.)
- In a large bowl, add flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add butter and mix. The batter will be thick and crumbly. Add eggs, buttermilk, and amaretto and mix until smooth and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour half of this batter into the bottom of your prepared pan.
For Filling:
- In another large mixing bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and egg. Beat until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Spoon this mixture evenly over the first batter layer.
- Add remaining batter over cream cheese. Smooth evenly.
For Streusel:
- Mix brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, and salt together. Add butter and mix to combine. Add flour and mix, you'll probably have to mix this with your hands to get it fully combined. Sprinkle crumb mixture over the cake evenly.
- Bake in 325°F oven 55 to 60 minutes. The center will be set when it is fully cooked. It will move slightly but will not be real jiggly.
- Cool completely before slicing and serving. If you slice the coffee cake before the cream cheese layer has cooled and set it will run out of the cake.

Made this for the furst time and everyone LOVED it! I used the 9×13 but will use springform pan next time. Batter was thicker than I expected so a bit hard to half and spread, but definitely delicious!
Made this a few days ago and I think it turned out well but I may have over baked it because it is a tad on the dry side so i am finding the struessel topping a bit much.Would have preferred about half of that topping.
I love amaretto so i do wish there was a bit more flavor of it in there. I guess a hit of almond extract would solve that problem. If I make it again I will try that. Otherwise fine recipe!
I have made this recipe a few times and it always wows everyone. My coworkers will be enjoying this tomorrow. Thank you for the deliciousness! ❤️
How long is it good for ? At room temperature
It’ll stay fresh in an airtight container on the counter about a week before it starts drying out. It’ll keep in the fridge in an airtight container a bit longer.
