Ingredients:

• 900 grams (2 lbs) green cabbage, shredded
• 225 grams (1/2 lb) red cabbage, shredded
• 340 grams (12 oz) canned corn, well-drained
• 1 large jalapeño, diced
• 120 grams (4.2 oz) green onions, sliced thin
• 240 grams (8.5 oz) mayonnaise
• 15 ml (1 tbsp) fresh lime juice
• 15 grams (1/2 oz) chopped parsley
• 3 grams (1/2 tsp) ground black pepper
• 1 gram (1/4 tsp) salt
• 2 grams (1/2 tsp) chili powder

Directions:

1. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined. Set the dressing aside.
2. Shred the Cabbage: Use a vegetable peeler, box grater, or food processor to shred both the green and red cabbage into thin strands. Transfer the shredded cabbage into a large mixing bowl.
3. Chop and Add Vegetables: Finely slice the green onions and dice the jalapeño, then add them to the bowl with the cabbage. Chop the parsley and add that in as well.
4. Drain the Corn: If using canned or frozen corn, ensure it is well-drained to avoid diluting the dressing. Add the corn to the bowl.
5. Add the Cheese: Crumble the cotija or feta cheese into the mixture.
6. Combine the Ingredients: Whisk the dressing again to ensure it’s well-mixed, then pour it over the vegetables. Use tongs to toss everything together until evenly coated.
7. Chill Before Serving: Transfer the coleslaw to a food-safe container with a tight lid and refrigerate for at least two hours. Before serving, give it another toss to refresh the flavors.

Notes:

• Substitutions: Feel free to substitute parsley with cilantro for a more authentic Mexican flavor. If you prefer a milder taste, replace the jalapeño with bell pepper.
• Cooking Tip: For a smoky twist, try grilling fresh corn on the cob and then cutting off the kernels to use in the coleslaw.
• Nutritional Information: This coleslaw is rich in fiber and vitamin C, making it a healthy side option. Use light mayonnaise to reduce the calorie content if desired.

Now, this coffee cake has become our go-to recipe for lazy Sunday mornings, family brunches, and even unexpected weekday cravings. It’s not just a cake; it’s a cherished family ritual!

• Crumbly Streusel Topping: The golden, buttery streusel creates a satisfying crunch that contrasts beautifully with the cake’s soft interior.
• Versatile and Easy to Make: Simple ingredients and easy steps make this cake a breeze to whip up for any occasion.

Ingredients:

Cream Cheese Layer:

• 50 grams (¼ cup) granulated sugar
• 225 grams (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
• 1 egg white
• ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 190 grams (1 ¼ cup) fresh blueberries

Cake Base:

• 190 grams (1 ½ cups) all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 80 grams (5.5 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
• 100 grams (½ cup) granulated sugar
• 1 whole egg + 1 egg yolk
• 180 ml (¾ cup) sour cream
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Streusel Topping:

• 70 grams (⅓ cup) granulated sugar
• 65 grams (½ cup) all-purpose flour
• 45 grams (3 tablespoons) unsalted butter, chilled and diced

Directions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by greasing it well and lining the bottom with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer: In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract using a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add the egg white and blend on low until just combined. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Cake Base: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the whole egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, mixing well. Gradually alternate adding the dry ingredients and sour cream into the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and spread evenly.
4. Add Blueberries and Cream Cheese Layer: Sprinkle ⅓ cup of blueberries over the cake base. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the blueberries, then top with the remaining blueberries.
5. Make the Streusel Topping: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, flour, and chilled, diced butter. Use a fork or pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the top of the blueberries.
6. Bake the Cake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the cake begins to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil to prevent overbrowning.
7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack. Run a thin knife around the edge before removing the sides of the springform pan. For best results, store the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes:

• Substitutions: Feel free to substitute fresh blueberries with frozen ones (do not thaw) or swap sour cream for Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
• Baking Tips: For an extra burst of flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon to the streusel topping.
