Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake Recipe

Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake

This guest favorite recipe has it all. Almond crunch and crumble combine to make a delicious and flavorful coffee cake with a delightful texture. The cream cheese filling keeps the cake extra moist around the raspberries and jam swirls, while tart balances with sweet in every spoonful.

Great for a brunch or afternoon tea, we enjoy serving this coffee cake in individual ramekins to follow a savory egg dish to start the day.
