Are you ready for Mother’s Day? Have you planned something special? Are you still looking for something to make for breakfast, brunch or perhaps a dessert? Then this Raspberry Almond Coffee Cake is just what you are looking for!
Don’t you just love it when a recipe can be used for breakfast or dessert? Coffee cakes are like that. It’s totally okay to have this for breakfast! Just think how happy your mom would be – and you too!
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.
Why is it called a coffee cake?
Just about any cake can be called a coffee cake. Traditionally they are a cake with a streusel topping. Coffee cake does not contain any coffee, but it is perfect eaten alongside a cup of coffee! If you love coffee cakes, check out this Blueberry Banana Coffee Cake.
Other recipes using raspberries include raspberry muffins, raspberry sweet rolls, raspberry scones and raspberry roll ups.

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!
