I like this coffee cake because it has a moist and light texture… and it’s PINK!
Ingredients

- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/8 tsp salt

Directions
Slightly adapted from Cora Lynn Wilson (more vanilla, raspberry jam instead of seedless preserves) Serves: 9 square pieces
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9×9 inch Pyrex baking dish.
- In a large bowl, cream the cream cheese, butter, and sugar with an electric mixer. Beat in egg, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Slowly mix in flour, baking powder, soda, and salt.
