Raspberry-Marzipan Coffee Cake image

This is so yummy - and really easy. I found it in Betty Crocker's New Cookbook, and avoided it for years because of the almond paste (to me, it's an exotic ingredient). I was really missing out!

Time 1h10m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup butter, firm
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup slivered almonds
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
4 ounces almond paste, finely chopped
1 cup fresh raspberry

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.

This coffee cake was a disappointment. The marzipan filling was too sweet and the cake itself was dry.

This coffee cake is a bit dense, but it's still very good. I would recommend using a lighter type of flour, such as all-purpose flour.

I'm not a big fan of marzipan, but I really enjoyed this coffee cake. The raspberry filling was the perfect balance.
