Strawberries and Cream Coffee Cake with Vanilla Cream Cheese Glaze
This strawberries and cream coffeecake works well for dessert, snack or breakfast!
A moist and tender strawberry sour cream coffee cake with a vanilla cream cheese glaze.
I went with a pretty basic coffeecake recipe that relies on butter, sour cream and buttermilk to ensure that it is nice and moist and tender both right out of the oven and that it remains that way for a few days.
This strawberries and cream coffeecake recipe could not be easier to make; you really just need to mix the dry ingredients, mix the wet ingredients, combine them, pour them into a baking pan and then bake. With less than 10 minutes of work you can have this coffeecake in the oven and be impatiently waiting for it to bake while your house fills up with the irresistible aromas of baking strawberries and vanilla! What a great way to enjoy fresh summer strawberries for breakfast!
Note: You can also use frozen strawberries; just add them to the recipe frozen just like you would with fresh and bake for a few minutes longer.
