Apricot Cream Cheese Danish Coffee Cake
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan. Reserve 1/2 cup of the dry cake mix.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and sour cream together. Stir in the package of cake mix; the batter will be lumpy. Spread the batter in the prepared pan. With the back of a spoon, make 15 wells in the batter in 3 rows of 5. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese and milk until fluffy. Spoon a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture into each well. Set 1 apricot half, cut side up, on top of each well of cream cheese.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, combine the reserved 1/2 cup cake mix with the butter. Stir in the butter until the mixture is crumbly. Mix in the slivered almonds and sprinkle the mixture evenly over the Danish batter.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.

  5. 5

    For the glaze: Stir the confectioners' sugar and water together until smooth, adding another teaspoon of water if needed. Drizzle over the Danish when cool.
