(for the streusel topping)
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven
to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9-inch spring-form pan.
Combine
flour, ¾ cup sugar, and butter in a food processor, pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Remove
1 cup* of mixture from food processor and set
aside. To remaining mixture in
processor ADD baking soda, baking
powder, salt, sour cream, almond extract, powdered buttermilk and 1 egg; process until batter is just combined
and smooth. Spread batter evenly into bottom and 2 inches up sides of prepared
pan.
Beat cream

batter-lined pan and spread
evenly. Spread blackberry preserves carefully over cheese filling.

reserved crumb mixture and slices almonds together in a small bowl; sprinkle over the layer of blackberry
preserves. Bake in a preheated oven until filling is set and crust is deep
golden brown. 45 – 55 minutes. Cool 15
minutes before removing side of
pan. Chill completely before serving, about 1 hour.
*EXTRA STREUSEL = ½ cup
butter cut into cubes, ½ cup sugar, 1 cup flour and ½ teaspoon almond
extract. Mix together in the food
processor until it resembles coarse crumbs.
(use up to 1 cup of this and combine with the reserved 1 cup from the
recipe – to make 2 cups streusel for the cake)..For the remainder, bake in a
350 degree F oven for 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. Use the extra for muffins, pancakes and other
pastries.
