Raspberry Coffee Cake With Dark Chocolate Chips

Whether you are looking for a sweet brunch addition or a dessert just for fun, this sweet and tart raspberry coffee cake is perfect for any occasion. Tender cake studded with tart raspberries and dark chocolate and topped with slivered almonds for crunch.

I wanted to make something with fresh raspberries, hoping to entice my picky eater (Ethan), to try them again.  I can usually get him to eat something if I put it in cake/muffin form, and almost always when there’s chocolate involved.

A coffee cake is a fun way to eat sweet bread. We all love the crumby texture. Sometime soon I want to try to make some raspberry bars to put in their lunches too.

This cake is so, so good.  It’s sweet, and a little tart, the almonds give it a little crunch.  Fabulous. Well, my picky eater didn’t think so, but the rest of the family loved it!

If you’re a raspberry and chocolate lover, you’re going to want to make this for Sunday breakfast, your sister’s cousin’s bridal shower, and Easter brunch.  It’s that good.

🔪Instructions

This is meant to be a brief overview of the recipe. For step-by-step instructions and a full printable recipe card with ingredients, please scroll down to the teal box below or Jump to Recipe.

• Preheat the oven to 350-degrees. Spray a round cake plate with non-stick cooking spray and set it aside.
• To make the streusel, cut the butter into the sugar and flour using a dough blender or fork. Mix in the almonds and set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the butter, milk, vanilla and egg. Scrape down the sides, and take care not to overmix.
• Spread half the batter into the prepared pan. Spread the jam over the batter, sprinkle with half the chocolate chips, half the fresh raspberries, and about half the streusel topping. 
• Spoon on the remaining batter, and top with the rest of the chocolate chips, followed by the remaining raspberries and streusel topping.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the cake is cooked through. Wait at least 15 minutes before cutting.

📖 Variations

This is such a versatile recipe. Just replace the raspberries with fresh blueberries. You can even use blueberry jam if you want. Blackberries would also work as they are super similar to raspberries.

Serve fresh fruit with your coffee cake, and some breakfast meats like bacon or sausage. You can also serve this with something like our Sweet Potato Spinach Quiche or an omelet.
