Raspberry Sour Cream Coffee Cake

Tuesday, April 26th, 2022

This is a fruit-filled variation on a sour cream coffee cake that my mother makes.  I’ve added whole grains in the form of the oats and fruit in the form of the raspberries.  I baked it in a 9 x 13 cast iron pan from Lodge but you could bake it in a bundt pan just as easily.

Raspberry Sour Cream Coffee Cake
Cake Ingredients:

  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp orange liqueur such as 43 or triple sec
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
Filling/topping ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats or quick oats
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
  2. Beat eggs
  3. Drizzle melted butter into eggs while whisking to incorporate it.
  4. Add salt, sugar, orange liqueur, and sour cream.  Stir to combine.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
  6. Pour liquid mixture into dry mixture and fold until just combined.
  7. Make the filling/topping in the bowl that was used for the liquid mixture by combining all ingredients except raspberries and stirring until crumbly.
  8. Put about 1/3 of the batter into a greased 9 x 13 or bundt pan and spread to a thin, even layer.
  9. Spread raspberries in an even layer and then top with half of the crumb mixture.
  10. Spread the remaining batter on top of the raspberries and filling.  The berries and filling might get mixed up a little in the batter.  Don’t sweat it, this is expected!
  11. Top with the remaining filling/topping.
  12. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a cake tester or toothpick comes out clean (if using a glass 9 x 13 pan, this may be in as little as 40 minutes)
  13. Enjoy!
