Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it into an even layer.

Step 6

Spoon the fruit preserves onto the batter in small dollops, then use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the preserves into the batter.

Step 7

Top with the remaining batter, spreading it evenly over the swirled layer.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the coffee cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
