Amaretto Cream Cheese Coffee Cake Recipe is a sweet, dense coffee cake topped with extra crumb topping and filled with a ribbon of cream cheese.

Honestly, I love everything about this cake. I love that this Amaretto Cream Cheese Coffee Cake Recipe is half cake and half cheesecake. It’s a hybrid! It’s dense and moist, but let’s be real, the streusel topping is really the star!

I recommend reading through the recipe first before you start. As well, have all the ingredients out and measured before beginning.

Spray a 9×13-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.)

Make sure you use room temperature cream cheese! It’s much easier to mix.

I like to use my hands or a fork to combine the streusel ingredients. A pastry blender works too!

Don’t slice into the cake until it is completely cool. If the cream cheese layer is warm it will ooze out of the cake.

Ingredients

Cake:

Filling:

  • 16 -ounces cream cheese room temperature
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg room temperature

Streusel:

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 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!

      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.

    Do you think I would be able to make this in a 13×9 glass pan? And would amaretto extract flavoring work? I don’t have actual amaretto.

    Reply

    • Paula says

      Yes, but it will probably take less time to bake, start watching it earlier. Yes, the amaretto extract will work, use 1 tablespoon

        When you make it in two 2 8″ pans, do you make two cakes or layer the two cake portions with the cream cheese between the layers and the streusel on top?

        • Paula says

          You’ll make divide the mixtures and make 2 complete cakes in each pan, don’t layer the 2 separate pans

    I made the Crumb Cake…OMG! I added raspberry preserves on top of the first layer of cake, under the cream cheese filling. This is awesome! I am going to enter it in the county fair this summer!

    I WAS WONDERING WHAT I COULD USE IN PLACE OF AMARETTO AS I DO NOT HAVE ANY, THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT

      I’m sorry I’m just getting to this, you could just leave it out and increase the other liquid by this amount. If you have almond flavoring you could use 1 teaspoon of it to get the same almond flavor, but you don’t have to. It doesn’t have a strong almond flavor.

    I don’t keep Amaretto around…although I do love it in drinks. Could I substitute natural almond extract and would I need to add additional liquid of some sort to make up the 1/4 cup? Thanks for your help.

    Reply

    • Paula says

      yes, I would put 1 T almond extract, then I would add an additional 1/4 c buttermilk or milk and you should be fine.
