Peach Rhubarb Cream Cheese Coffee Cake

The children of one of my son's came to spend the Sabbath with us.  Since, I am recuperating, they brought the entire meal, with them and they were here, to take the stress off of me, and do the serving, preparation, clearing and basically what I should not, yet do.

No self respecting Bubby (grandma) allows her grandchildren to visit without baking so despite my limitations, I did just that.  With hubby, on hand, to get the bowls and put the baked goods , in the oven, I went to work and made two quick recipes that we all love, chocolate chip cookies and one of Dorie's brownies.  I used a better chocolate in the brownies and I admit, it makes a difference.  These were the best brownies and I will blog them at My Sweet and Savory for Monday 's Baking with Dorie.

I had the kids covered although they brought cinnamon rolls with them so we were well-desserted (yes, I made up that word.)  Hubby had a delicious new muffin to eat but I felt badly for him so, again with his help, I made this rhubarb-peach cream cheese coffee cake.  The rhubarb was not sweet enough and next time, I would use strawberries or blueberries with the peaches.

Rhubarb-Peach Cream Cheese Coffee Cake  (adapted from Taste of Home)

Ingredients:

Start Pouring Cheese on Top.
  • 3 tablespoons margarine, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar, divided  (1/2 and 1/4)
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons egg substitute, divided
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup frozen peaches
  • 1/2 cup cut-up frozen rhubarb
  • 2 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese

Method:

In a large bowl, beat margarine and 1/2 cup sugar until crumbly, about 2 minutes. 
Beat in 1/4 cup egg substitute, lemon peel and vanilla.
Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to margarine mixture alternately with buttermilk.
Pour into a 9-in. springform pan coated with cooking spray; sprinkle with berries. 
In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and remaining sugar until fluffy. Beat in remaining egg substitute. Pour over berries.  
Place pan on a baking sheet. Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. 
Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. 
Carefully run a knife around edge of pan to loosen; remove sides of pan. 
Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 8 servings.

  7. This looks like a really nice use of rhubarb too. And so timely for Shavuot! Make sure you keep resting. The kids can manage without your baked goods for a bit (maybe!). :)
