Raspberry Coffee Cake
This Raspberry Coffee Cake is soft and moist. The cake is topped with delicious fresh raspberries that get jammy when baked, and a buttery streusel topping. The cake takes minutes to mix together and can be made without a handheld or stand mixer.
The details
preheat the oven and choose your pan
For this coffee cake, I like using an 8-inch springform pan. Since this cake has a streusel topping and it’s soft, it can make it tougher to get out of a regular 8-inch pan. Usually when I get a cake out of an 8-inch cake pan, I run a butter knife along the edge, put a plate on top of the cake pan, flip the cake pan upside down and get the cake out that way. This method will certainly work, I just prefer the ease of the springform pan. Anyways, once you have your pan, make sure you spray with nonstick spray and line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper. This makes it easy for the cake to come out of the pan.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit before you begin making the raspberry coffee cake. The cake only takes minutes to whip together, so it’s good to let the oven get to temperature as you mix the batter.
mixing the cake batter
This raspberry coffee cake comes together easily. You’ll add all of the wet ingredients to your bowl and whisk to combine, then add in the dry ingredients and whisk just until combined. Pour this batter into your prepared cake pan.
make the crumb topping
In a bowl, add the ingredients for the crumb topping, then use a fork to claw and combine the ingredients together until the mixture is in clumps. Sprinkle the fresh raspberries over top of the coffee cake batter, then sprinkle the crumb topping over the raspberries.
Bake the raspberry coffee cake in the preheated oven for 42-48 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The oven times can vary, so keep an eye on the cake. Allow the coffee cake to fully cool before drizzling icing over the cake.
