A special treat for every day, this raspberry coffee cake is surprisingly scrumptious.

Whether you are looking for a tea-time treat or a dessert just for fun, the sweet and tart raspberry coffee cake is perfect for any occasion.

I wanted to make something with fresh raspberries, hoping to entice my picky eater (Ethan), to try them again. I can usually get him to eat something if I put it in cake/muffin form, and almost always when there’s chocolate involved. A coffee cake is a fun new way to eat sweet bread. We all love the crumby texture. Sometime soon I want to try to make some raspberry bars to put in their lunches too.

This cake is so, so good. It’s sweet, and a little tart, the almonds give it a little crunch. Fabulous.

So says me.

But not my picky eater. Go figure.

If you’re a raspberry and chocolate lover, you’re going to want to make this for Sunday breakfast, your sister’s cousin’s bridal shower, and Easter brunch. It’s that good.

Raspberry Coffee Cake With Chocolate Chips and Almonds

What type of pans can I use to make this cake?

The best pans for cooking coffee cake are round, nonstick bundt pans. These are the pans that have been used for years to make a classic coffee cake. But the shape of the pan honestly doesn’t matter. You can use a nonstick square or rectangle pan as well. If you choose to bake it in a glassware, grease the pan really well and watch your cooking time.

Is coffee cake good for breakfast?

Coffee cake is a wonderful treat for breakfast! My raspberry coffee cake is especially perfect for breakfast because it has the nutrients of fresh raspberries. Serve this with eggs and bacon for a filling and nutritious start to your day.

What kinds of chocolate chips can I use?

I chose dark chocolate chips because I love their low sugar counts and the deep profile they added to the coffee cake. But you can use milk chocolate chips too. In fact, white chocolate chips – while they won’t look as beautiful in the cake – will taste extra sweet with the berries.

Ingredients

Streusel

3 Tablespoons unsalted butter cold
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup slivered almonds

Cake

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup 1/2 stick unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 cup milk
1/2 cup raspberry jam
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 cup dark chocolate chips or semi-sweet, milk chocolate, or white chocolate
1 cup fresh raspberries

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350-degrees. Spray a round cake plate with non-stick cooking spray and set it aside.
To make the streusel, cut the butter into the sugar and flour using a dough blender or fork. Mix in the almonds and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the butter, milk, vanilla and egg. Scrape down the sides, and take care not to overmix.
Spread half the batter into the prepared pan. Spread the jam over the batter, sprinkle with half the chocolate chips, half the fresh raspberries, and about half the streusel topping.
Spoon on the remaining batter, and top with the rest of the chocolate chips, followed by the remaining raspberries and streusel topping.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the cake is cooked through. Wait at least 15 minutes before cutting.

Other Fruits You Can Use in the Coffee Cake

This is such a versatile recipe. Just replace “raspberry” with blueberries. You can even use blueberry jam if you want.

Another idea is to use blackberries. Blackberries and raspberries are super similar, it will just make your coffee cake different colors.

What to Serve With Your Raspberry Coffee Cake

Serve fresh fruit with your coffee cake, and some breakfast meats like bacon or sausage. You can also serve this with quiche or an omelet.

If you want to serve coffee cake for an afternoon snack, it pairs really well with dark coffee or an herbal tea.
