This is my kind of cake.   Citrus and Almond flavored cake with a quick raspberry jam filling, almond streusel topping, and additional dollops of jam.  Perfection!!

This cake would be a wonderful addition to a Mother's Day Brunch Buffet or to enjoy any day with coffee or tea.  I served mine up for dessert one evening and then enjoyed leftovers for breakfast the next morning.

I did adapt the recipe, substituting buttermilk for the sweet milk and sour cream as that was what I had on hand.

Raspberry Jam Coffee Cake

Tender, almond-flavored cake with a swirl of homemade raspberry jam covered in a scrumptious streusel and additional dollops of jam. This cake is amazing!!

Prep time: 15 MinCook time: 1 HourTotal time: 1 H & 15 M

Ingredients

Raspberry Jam

• 12 oz. fresh raspberries
• 1/2 c. sugar
• juice and zest of 1 lemon
• 1 T. cornstarch

Streusel

• 1 1/4 c. flour
• 3/4 c. packed brown sugar
• 2 t. cinnaspice mix
• pinch of salt
• 1 stick cold butter,cut into 8 pieces
• 3 T. sliced almonds

Cake

• 10 T. butter, room temperature
• 1 1/2 c. sugar
• zest of 1/2 lemon
• 2 eggs
• 2 t. almond extract
• 3 c. + 2T. flour
• 2 t. baking powder
• 1 t. baking soda
• 1 t. salt
• 1 1/2 c. buttermilk

Instructions

1. Place the raspberries, sugar, lemon juice and zest, and cornstarch into a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and cook until raspberries break down and liquid starts to thicken, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
2. Place all ingredients for the streusel into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until crumbly. Set aside.
3. In the large bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, sugar, and zest until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Mix in the almond extract.
4. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. With the mixer on low, add 1/2 of the flour mixture to the egg mixture, then add 3/4 cup of the buttermilk and mix until combined. Repeat with the remaining flour and buttermilk, mixing just until combined.
5. Spread 3/4 of the cake mixture into a 9x13" pan that has been treated with baking spray. Add 3/4 of the reserved jam and spread over the cake batter. Top with the remaining cake batter and sprinkle the reserved streusel overall. Place dollops of the remaining jam onto the top of the streusel.
6. Bake in a preheated 350* oven for about an hour, until puffy and browned and a skewer inserted in the center removes cleanly.
