Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake
Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake
Are you looking for a simple dessert that tastes amazing at any time of the day? This Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake is the answer to your sweet tooth prayers.
Did we mention we added almond paste to this delicious cake? Well we did and it makes it even better! Not almond extract but almond paste. It makes a huge difference in flavor. We think you will LOVE it as much as we do. The flavor it gives this coffee cake. You of course can leave it out or make it either way depending on your mood.
While we know that “coffee” is in the name, this doesn’t mean that you actually have to eat this with your morning coffee. (although you totally can if you want!)
This dessert is so good, you can literally eat this anytime that you want. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner, you can’t go wrong with this delicious taste.
Even more than that, it’s one of those treats that have levels and levels of flavor. One minute you’re tasting almond, the next raspberry and then very subtly you’re getting that creaminess of the cream cheese.
A complicated-sounding cake that is actually easy to make? Count us in, time and time again!
PIN IT!!
Can you use frozen raspberries for this dish?
If you’re needing something in a pinch, maybe. We don’t really recommend it though because the frozen raspberries will have much more liquid in them than fresh and will cause your cake to be too soggy.
Fresh is best for this cake and more than likely, you can find them all year long at your local store. You can always substitute another berry such as blueberries or strawberries.
How do you store leftover Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake?
Once you make this cake, you’re going to want to keep it stored in an airtight container so it stays as fresh as possible. Once done, this cake should stay good and delicious for up to 5 days! (and if you want to freeze it after that, you can as well!
Although, we feel that eating this cake fresh is way better than thawing it and having it from frozen!) But it never lasts longer than the 5 days anyways in our house so no worries there!
Don’t miss out on this delicious coffee cake. It’s perfect to enjoy any time of the day and will be gone before you even realized what happened. Thankfully it makes a big batch and you can just get yourself another piece!
