Fresh or frozen raspberries?
I used frozen raspberries in this cake, but fresh would be amazing too. To use fresh berries, reduce cooking time by 5 minutes and check cake to see if it is done.
The whole cake is topped with a crumb topping made with almonds, cinnamon and brown sugar.

I made it with buttermilk instead of regular milk. Delicious!

Does the recipe freeze well? Thanks!
Kathy says
Hi Nancy,
This coffee cake should freeze just fine. Allow the cake to fully cool then double wrap in plastic wrap and foil.
Enjoy,
Kathy

Any chance I could sub water for the milk? Or does the dairy add something essential?
Kathy says
Hi Wendy,
The milk adds extra richness and does help a bit with the crumb. But, yes you can replace the milk with water in this recipe.
Enjoy!
