The original recipe called for raspberry jam and slivered almonds and I received very good reviews from my co-workers. When I tweaked the recipe with caramel and blueberry pie filling I started receiving requests to bring this to every potluck/birthday/get together we have at work.

How To Make caramel blueberry cheese coffee cake

  • Step 1
    In large mixing bowl combine flour and sugar: cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Remove 1 cup and set aside. To the remaining crumb mixture, add baking powder, baking soda, salt, sour cream, egg and almond extract: mix well. Spread onto the bottom and 2 in up the side of a greased 9 in springform pan making a well in the center.
  • Step 2
    For filling, combine cream cheese, sugar and egg in a small mixing bowl; beat well. Spoon over batter.
  • Step 3
    Melt the caramels with a splash of milk either in a double boiler or in a glass measuring cup in the microwave until smooth. Pour over the cream cheese mixture. Pour the blueberry pie filling over the caramel mixture.
  • Step 4
    Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture over the top spreading evenly. Lastly, sprinkle the pecans on top.
  • Step 5
    Bake in a pre-heated oven at 350 degrees for 55- 60 minutes. I always use a cookie sheet under my pan just in case it bubbles over. Cool for about 15 minutes then run a knife around the edges of pan to loosen. Remove sides of pan. Cool completely. Store in refrigerator.
