It's time for another coffee cake at The Home Bakers (THB). This is our bake #32, Raspberry-Almond Coffee Cake is selected by the lovely Angela of The Charmed Cupcake.
The base is a lovely moist, soft butter cake with tender crumbs. Raspberries are scattered over the batter and top with sprinkles of streusel which is mixed with flaked almonds. I do not have any raspberries, and they are rather expensive, so I have substitute with some frozen mulberries, and it turns out really nice. Recipe calls for lemon zest, the lemons I have are "naked" lemons! LOL! So instead of buying more lemons just for the zest, I have used orange zest instead, since I have some oranges in my fridge. (No "naked" oranges, I ate the oranges!) :o)
I've made half a recipe and bake in a 7" springform pan.
A delicious cake, with moist, tender crumbs yet quite light in texture. As usual, I always have a pot of tea ready when I bake simple cakes like this. A lovely tea-time treat with the family.

ReplyDeleteJoyce, I was wondering what are "naked" lemons and I realised that these are lemons which you have already zested. LOL! This looks like a lovely cake especially the toppings.
ReplyDeleteHi Joyce!

Joyce , I can relate re raspberries *sigh* The price is just ridiculous ! Your naked lemon made me laugh ! You can make lemon curd out of those naked lemons :D

Sound interesting .......... Love the flavored cake!!
ReplyDeleteHi Joyce , got to try this cake , just yummy delicious thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteDid you say streusel! I love any kind of coffee cake mostly for the streusel, lol...The notion of mulberries sounds delightful. So glad you have tea ready, Joyce. I'll be right over!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Joyce, this cake is so lovely and beautiful :D
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious. I've actually never had mulberries but would love to try them. Raspberries are expensive here too so this cake was a bit of an investment...especially because they are so yummy that I immediately ate all the leftover ones while the cake was in the oven!
