Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 1/4 cups flour
    3/4 cup sugar
    3/4 cup butter (light stick butter works fine!)
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    3/4 cup sour cream (or 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/4 cup milk combined, I use light sour cream & 1% milk)
    1 teaspoon almond extract
    1 egg
    8 ounces cream cheese (light cream cheese or neufchatel cheese works fine)
    1/4 cup sugar
    1 egg
    3/4 cup raspberry jam (I use sugar free)
    1/4 cup sliced almonds
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F.
    In a large bowl, combine flour and 3/4 cup sugar. Using pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Reserve 1 cup of crumbs.
    To remaining crumb mixture, add baking powder, baking soda, salt, sour cream, almond extract, and 1 egg. Blend well.
    Spread batter over bottom and 1 1/2 inches up sides of greased and floured 9 inch springform pan. Batter should be about 1/4 inch thick on sides.
    In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 egg. Blend well.
    Pour in batter lined pan.
    Spoon jam over cream cheese mixture. In a small bowl, combine reserved crumbs and sliced almonds. Sprinkle over jam.
    Bake for 45 to 55 minutes.
