Raspberry Coffee Cake
This coffee cake is bursting with raspberries and topped with a cinnamon sugar crumble.
Ingredients
For the Cinnamon Streusel
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter chilled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes, 4 tablespoons
For the Coffee Cake
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter room temperature, 4 tablespoons
- 1 egg large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 cups raspberries cut in half, fresh or frozen
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375° F. Line an 8-inch by 8-inch metal baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
To make the Cinnamon Streusel Topping
- Whisk together the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl. Using two forks or your fingers, cut or rub in the butter into the mixture until it reaches a sand-like consistency. Set aside.
To make the Coffee Cake
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer (or using a hand mixer), beat together the sugar, butter, egg, and vanilla.
- Alternate adding the milk and the flour mixture to the sugar/butter mixture, ending with flour. Mix until just combined. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, fold in the raspberries very gently.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan (it will be thick). Sprinkle the streusel topping over the batter.
- Bake the cake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick or knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven, and set it on a rack to cool for 10 minutes. Serve warm right from the pan or transfer to a serving plate.
Notes
- Batter will be thick. Do your best to spread it in the pan. It’s okay if the berries break a bit. Sometimes tapping the pan on the counter helps spread the batter.
- This recipe is best served the day off, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days.
