Easy Raspberry Crumb Cake Recipe
The best thing is that you don’t even have to wait for it to cool completely before you serve it. Even the very popular peanut butter cheesecake and the magic cake are ignored, in our house it turns into a real fight. As soon as my gorgeous Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake is out of the oven, my husband immediately jumps to pick off crumb topping and if I don’t succeed in running him out of the kitchen, there is a great probability that my piece of the cake will end up without streusel. He even asked me if the cake can be made only from filling and the crumb topping. As if that wasn’t enough that mostly, I put more crumbs on muffins and cakes than is proposed in the recipe.
Tips and Tricks on Raspberry Crumb Cake
Oh, the agony I went through perfecting the making of these sweet crumbs. It happened that the topping melts during the baking and turns into something more like a crust. I tried different recipes, with melted butter, brown sugar, regular white sugar, with cinnamon or without it, but in the end, I figured out that the only important thing is the proportion of flour and sugar, and the butter must be really cold.
But if you ever had a similar problem, you must use the butter directly from the fridge, and then mash it along with sugar and flour. Keep in mind that the crumbs must be pea-sized, and must not be too soft. If it is necessary, pour a little more flour and stir everything again. And do that again again until the crumbs are perfect
And just another thing, since I often get the question if it is possible to use a substitute in place of the sour cream (although the sour cream makes the cakes super moist) if you don’t like it, you can use thick Greek yogurt, it works well instead of sour cream.
