This post may contain affiliate links. Read our disclosure policy . If you love cake for breakfast, a perfectly moist yet crumbly coffee cake is the answer.

All of these textures and flavors come together beautifully. It’s a delicious Mother’s Day recipe , and perfect for any morning that calls for something a little special. But don’t limit this cake to the morning; it’s the perfect 1 layer cake for nearly any time of day. One reader, Francie, commented: “This is one of the best cakes I’ve ever made. The base cake is gorgeous, light and fluffy, and excellent flavor from the extracts and sour cream. But the delicious topping is what really makes this cake special. Its crunchy texture, bursts of raspberry, and flavorful crumbs make the cake unique and special enough to serve to guests. ★★★★★ “ Another reader, Laura, commented: “I’m eating a bonus piece right now, but I made it for dessert last night and it was delicious. Just the right amounts of sweetness, crunch, and tartness, and my goodness, what a treat cold the next morning! ★★★★★ “ Like my New York-style crumb cake , there’s only 2 parts: cake and toppings. This is a must make recipe so let’s get started! This Raspberry Almond Crumb Cake Is Soft, buttery, and moist Relatively easy to make Loaded with a cinnamon crumb topping Topped with raspberries and almonds A true anytime cake—serve for breakfast, with afternoon coffee or tea, or for dessert with whipped cream or ice cream Loved by bakers around the world Here’s Why This Raspberry Almond Crumb Cake Recipe Works This batter is similar to my go-to coffee cake base and this cranberry breakfast cake —reliable, sturdy, and easy to make with just 1 bowl for dry ingredients and 1 bowl for wet. Creaming the butter and sugar is key here. This step incorporates air into the batter, giving the cake lift and a soft, tender crumb. Don’t rush this process; you’ll notice the mixture turn lighter and fluffier when it’s ready. If you’re a beginner baker, or if you need a refresher, here’s how to cream butter and sugar . Once you combine the wet and dry ingredients, the batter will be thick and pale. That’s exactly what you want. A thicker batter acts as a sturdy base, keeping the raspberries, crumb topping, and sliced almonds evenly layered instead of sinking. Best Pan to Use This cake rises pretty tall, so I recommend using a 9-inch springform pan . A 9×9-inch square pan works too, or a deep 9-inch round cake pan (2–3 inches deep). The springform pan is my top choice because the removable sides make slicing especially easy. Crumb Cake Toppings Before baking, we’ll top our crumb cake with fresh raspberries, sliced almonds, and a buttery crumb topping—each adds something special! Raspberries: I love raspberries and crumb cake together. The berries require zero prep, which I know you’ll appreciate first thing in the morning. Just dot them right on top of the cake batter. No sugar added, no pre-cooking, no extra steps. They pair wonderfully with the toasted almonds. Not into raspberries? A strawberry and rhubarb combination would be fantastic. Or even blueberries! Peeled and chopped apples or peaches would be equally delicious. Sliced Almonds: These add a welcome crunch to each bite. Try toasting them for even more flavor. Crumb Topping: The crumb topping comes together with flour, brown sugar, a little cinnamon, and butter. We’ll use melted butter, so there’s no cutting the butter into the dry ingredients with a pastry cutter. It’s so easy! After baking, finish with a light dusting of confectioners’ sugar. It’s optional, but adds a simple, bakery-style touch. And if you’re serving this for dessert, don’t forget some fresh whipped cream ! If cake for breakfast is your thing, you’ll love trying my crumb coffee cake or crumb cake muffins next. Or if you can’t get enough of raspberries, my raspberry sweet rolls are calling your name!
