This Raspberry Almond Crumb Cake is my new favorite! The moist and tender sour cream base is sprinkled with juicy and flavorful fresh raspberries and topped with buttery cinnamon crumbs and sliced almonds. It’s the perfect combination of textures and flavors!
What I love most about this easy cake recipe is that it is lightly sweet and loaded with fruit. So it’s a perfect slice not only for tea or coffee but any time of day. And even for breakfast. You know you deserve it!
To make the Raspberry Almond Crumb Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350 °F and grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
In a bowl, whisk together 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder,
¼ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl using a stand or hand mixer, beat on high ½ a cup unsalted butter with ¾ cup granulated sugar with a paddle or whisk attachment until creamy and smooth for about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Add 2 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Add in ½ a cup full-fat sour cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ¾ teaspoon almond extract and beat on medium-high speed until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
With the mixer running on low speed, slowly mix in the dry ingredients until smooth. Don’t overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top. Set aside.
In a small bowl using a fork, mix together ¼ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ cup light brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter.
Arrange 1 heaping cup of raspberries evenly over the top of the batter.
Sprinkle the crumb topping and almonds over the top.
Bake for about 35-40 minutes or until the skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. If the cake is browning too quickly, lay a piece of foil over the top.
Once baked, transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Dust with confectioners’ sugar before serving if you wish. Slice and enjoy!
