The Easiest Raspberry Coffee Cake
Description
The Easiest Raspberry Coffee Cake starts with softened unsalted butter whipped with sugar until light and fluffy. Vanilla extract and egg are incorporated next, followed by alternating additions of a flour-baking powder mixture and milk. This produces a smooth cake batter spread evenly in a small buttered baking dish. Fresh raspberries are scattered on top along with a sprinkle of extra sugar before baking.
Once baked at 350°F for about an hour, the cake develops a golden-brown crust while staying moist inside. The raspberries soften and release flavor into the crumb, adding slightly tart bursts. The sugar on top contributes a gentle sweetness and slight texture contrast.
This coffee cake works well as a morning treat or an accompaniment to coffee or tea. It’s manageable in a small size and highlights the fresh berry flavor with simple pantry ingredients. Cooling before serving helps with slicing and flavor balance.
Ingredients
- 6 tbsp butter softened, unsalted
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup raspberry
- 3 tbsp sugar
Instructions
- Allow the butter to sit at room temperature until it softens. In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder together.
- In a large bowl, add the butter and sugar and beat it until well-combined and fluffy.
- Stir the vanilla extract and egg into the butter mixture. Beat until smooth.
- In small portions add in the flour mixture, followed by the milk. Repeat until you run out of flour and milk. Beat until well-combined.
- Spread the cake batter into a buttered 6-inch baking dish. Spread the raspberries on top and sprinkle on 3 tablespoons of sugar.
- Bake the cake at 350°F for about an hour, or until golden brown. Allow the cake to cool to room temperature.
