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.

    Any chance I could sub water for the milk? Or does the dairy add something essential?

      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!
