I grew up in an old farmhouse and when I was little I could smell breakfast drifting up the stairs…this smell was one that could always draw me out from under the warm covers faster than just about anything!

My mom made this raspberry coffee cake for special occasions…birthdays, holidays, and now, days when the whole family is together for breakfast. She got it from a Taste of Home cookbook in the mid-90s and it’s been a favorite since the first time she made it!

Each bite of this raspberry coffee cake is a tiny celebration in itself—warm cake, juicy pops of tart raspberries, and sweet sugary crumb topping. I could eat it for days!!

You can prep the raspberry filling and mixing up the dry ingredients so that in the morning there is not a ton of work to do. You can just add the wet ingredients, mix it up, spread it in the pan, pop it in the oven and sip your coffee while it bakes.
