And just to mention, right at the start, just so there are no confusions: even though it is called coffee cake, this cake is not made with coffee, it is meant to be served with coffee. I gladly grab a piece of this cake along with the first morning coffee, but you will love this cake, whatever you drink with it.
Even though it has four layers, you don’t have to be an expert to make it. Soft cake, creamy filling and crunchy topping are made in the blink of an eye. You add some fresh, juicy raspberries and in 45 minutes you have a fantastic summer treat in your oven.
