Raspberry Coffee Cake from Heaven

my buddy Rhiannon posted this recipe on her blog. i have made it, not once, but FOUR times and it is freaking amazing. and it's so easy and takes almost NO time to put together. make it. seriously.


1/4 stick unsalted butter, softened
4 oz. cream cheese
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups frozen raspberries (helps keep their shape when mixing into thick batter)
2 tablespoons sugar for topping

Beat butter and cream cheese with electric mixer until creamy; gradually add 1 cup sugar, beating well. Add egg; beat well.

Combine flour, baking powder and salt; stir into butter mixture. Stir in vanilla; fold in frozen berries.

Pour batter into greased 9-inch round cake pan. Spinkle 2 tablespoons sugar over batter.

Bake at 350 for just under an hour; cool on wire rack. Serve with coffee; die from the deliciousness.


rhiannon said she dumps in the whole bag of raspberries. i second that motion.

here is a tip if you are using a handmade clay dish you should preheat it in the oven or it will take FOREVER to cook.


seriously, it is AMAZING. we usually eat it all at once because we can't stop until its all gone. mmmm, i want some now.
