Ingredients

Servings

For the Coffee Cake

  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup butter cold, salted
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt plain, nonfat
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup dates dried, chopped

For the Cream Cheese Layer

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg

For the Topping

  • 1/2 cup apricot jam
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs reserved from step 2
  • almonds sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and set aside.
  2. Combine 2 1/4 cups flour, 3/4 cup sugar, and 3/4 cup butter with a pastry cutter to make a crumbly mixture. Reserve 1 cup of the crumbs for topping.
  3. Whisk together the remaining crumbs with baking powder, baking soda, yogurt, and 1 egg until smooth. Spread in the bottom of the baking pan. Arrange the dates in an even layer over the top of the batter.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, and remaining egg until smooth. Pour over the batter in the pan and spread in an even layer with a spatula. Spoon the apricot jam over the cream cheese layer and sprinkle reserved crumbs on top.
  5. Bake for 45-55 minutes until a knife inserted comes out clean.

Notes

  • Recipe inspired by Pinch of Yum! 
  • Store the Apricot Coffee Cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can freeze it by wrapping individual squares in plastic wrap and placing them in a freezer bag; it will stay good for up to 3 months.
  • To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or microwave for 20-30 seconds.
