Cream Cheese Coffee CakeThe Cream Cheese Coffee Cake  is a treat. Unlike most cakes, with more emphasis on extra flavors, this one is known for its rich texture and heavy content. It is an ultra filling cake that will have even the most boundless of appetites fulfilled.Because of this, it is not recommended that you eat a great amount of cream cheese coffee cake. With its mixture of sugar, butter, cheese, vanilla and, of course, sour cream, this is not a cake for the timid. It is, instead, one that is guaranteed to fill you up after one slice. As a breakfast item, this would in fact act against you. Even small slices are thick and quite rich in flavor; this can overwhelm even the most hardy of palettes, especially as the first meal of the day. And, if you are thinking of serving this to your kids as a special treat before they head to school, think again. You should never send your child to school with something this heavy in them, especially if they have nothing but gym and recess to look forward to. You would stand a better chance at making them sick, rather than satisfied. No, the sour cream cheese cake is best suited after a light meal. Perhaps you have just had a quick brunch with your friends and you are all looking for something sweet to enjoy? Or perhaps your dinner was a small occasion, and now you want something rich to end the night on? This is the cake for you then. With a sour cream cheese coffee cake, you can truly taste the rich flavor so why should you ruin it by eating to much beforehand? It is a waste of the cake's actual purpose. Some would argue, of course, that this can be eaten at any time, assuming you do not stuff yourself with it. We disagree. Even the smaller slices can wield a powerful weight, satisfying most appetites. Why? Because the sour cream cheese coffee cake is made from heavy ingredients. This is not a light fruit cake, with just a bit of sugar added for kick. This is something else entirely. This is not a light dessert. We cannot stress this enough. Have a look at this recipe, and you’ll understand: 8 oz Cream cheese, softened Grease a round pan, 9 x 1 1/2". Mix cream cheese, 1/3 cup sugar and the almond extract; reserve.
