Blueberry White Chocolate Coffeecake Recipe


Ingredients
1-1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
1-1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp almond extract
4 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups white chocolate chips
1 can (21 ounces) more fruit blueberry pie filling

Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 to 2 Tbsp heavy cream or milk

Instructions
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line jelly roll pan, 15-1/2 x 10-1/2 x 1 inch, with non-stick foil or generously grease the pan.

Beat sugar, margarine, shortening, baking powder, vanilla, almond extract and eggs in large bowl on low speed, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on high speed 3 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in flour.

Spread 2/3 of the batter in pan. Sprinkle white chocolate chips evenly over batter. Carefully spoon out and spread blueberry filling over chips. Drop remaining coffeecake batter by tablespoonsful onto pie filling.

Bake about 40 to 45 minutes, or until batter begins to turn golden. Let rest about 10 minutes while you make the glaze. Drizzle glaze over warm coffee cake. Serve warm or let stand until cool. Store in a covered container.

For the glaze, mix ingredients until smooth and of drizzling consistency. Use a zip-top baggie with a tiny corner cut off as a container and drizzle a wiggly pattern over the top of the coffeecake.
