coffee cake is my answer to “make something cozy”

There are some desserts that look impressive but secretly couldn’t be easier, and coffee cake is definitely one of them.

Coffee cake is one of my favorite desserts. And it can be made with very little time and patience because it’s so forgiving and just…easy. No fancy techniques, no decorating skills, and no stressing over whether it turns out perfectly. It almost always does.

This version might be my favorite yet. This coffee cake is soft and cozy with the most irresistible raspberry cream cheese topping. Every bite has a little bit of everything, which is exactly how I like my desserts.

It’s the kind of recipe that feels special enough to bring to brunch, baby showers, holidays, or when friends stop by, but it’s simple enough to make on an ordinary Tuesday just because you’re craving something cozy.

I also love that it tastes just as good the next day. If you happen to have leftovers (which isn’t guaranteed around here), it’s perfect with a cup of coffee in the morning or as an afternoon treat.

A few tips before you get started:

• Fresh or frozen raspberries both work well. If you’re using frozen, thaw them first.
• Let the cake cool for about 20 minutes before slicing so the cream cheese layer has a chance to set.

If you’re looking for an easy raspberry coffee cake recipe that’s gluten free, buttery, tender, and cozy , I think you’ll come back to this one again and again.

I hope you love it as much as we do!
