Raspberry Marzipan Coffee Cake Recipes

RASPBERRY-MARZIPAN COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Spray bottom and sides of 9x9-inch square pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Cut firm margarine into 1/3 cup flour and 1/4 cup sugar using a pastry blender (or 2 knives) until crumbly.
• Stir in almonds; set aside.
• Beat 2 cups flour, 3/4 cup sugar, softened butter, milk, baking powder, vanilla, and egg with an electric mixer on low about 30 seconds until blended.
• Beat on medium about 2 minutes, scraping down the bowl occasionally.
• Spread half the batter in the pan.
• Sprinkle with half each of the almond paste, raspberries, and the "streusel" that you set aside.
• Repeat with the remaining batter, almond paste, raspberries and streusel.
• Bake about 50 minutes.
• This is hard to test with a toothpick, because if you hit some almond paste you might think it isn't cooked yet--mine was perfect after 50 minutes.

RASPBERRY COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• In a stand mixer (or using a hand-held mixer) cream butter and sugar until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
• Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla; mix on low for about 1 minute.
• Add dry ingredients to butter mixture and blend on medium for 30 seconds, mixing until ingredients are JUST incorporated.
• Remove bowl from mixer and gently fold in raspberries.
• Place batter in a prepared 9x13 casserole pan. Prepare crumble and add it on top of the batter. (directions below)
• Using a food processor, fork, or your hands, combine brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and cold butter pieces in a bowl. (I prefer clean hands) Make sure the butter is broken down and no larger than a pea when you are done.
• Bake coffee cake at 350°F for 35-40 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out mostly clean. If your top is starting to brown, cover the coffee cake with foil.
• Combine the confectioners' sugar and milk. Feel free to add a few drops of additional milk at a time until it reaches drizzling consistency.
• Drizzle glaze over a warm cake and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F (180C) degrees.
• Lightly grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round springform pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray and lightly flour. I recommend wrapping the outside of the pan in tin foil, as some springform pans can leak. Set aside.
