This coffee cake is a perfect old school recipe with a unique berry twist. Amazingly moist cake, crumbly buttery topping and a hint of sweet, tart raspberry preserve swirled throughout with a crowning of fresh raspberries on top.
Other berries can certainly be substituted if you prefer to use strawberries or blueberries, but you can also leave the fruits out totally and make a very basic coffee cake. Still delicious!
When I was a youngster, I thought Coffee cake had coffee in it, so was never interested, but coffee cake got it's name because it was typically served with coffee, the quintessential beverage to accompany the cake. I would fathom to say hot or iced coffee would work equally well, or perhaps a tall glass of milk if you're so inclined.
Back to the cake. I mix softened butter with flour, sugar, eggs and a few other ingredients to make a fluffy batter that then gets divided into a top and bottom layer with the beautiful streusel and jam nestled in the center.
The alluring hint of cardamom is a welcome note in both the batter and streusel, but if you aren't sure about cardamom, you can leave it out. I highly encourage you to try it. It is one of my favorite spices, having a heady, earthy note, somewhat like cinnamon.
This is an easy assemble cake that your whole family will love (with to without coffee).
