Description
A moist coffee cake with a raspberry swirl and almond streusel topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- In a small bowl, combine the sliced almonds, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the streusel topping.
- Spread half of the batter into the prepared baking pan.
- Scatter the raspberries evenly over the batter.
- Dollop the remaining batter over the raspberries. Swirl gently with a knife.
- Sprinkle the almond streusel topping evenly over the cake.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a brighter raspberry flavor, you can toss the raspberries with 1 tablespoon of flour before adding them to the batter.
- If using frozen raspberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter.
- Ensure your buttermilk is at room temperature for best results.
