One of my mother's friends used to bring this over at the holidays, and it never lasted long. With the tangy raspberry filling, tender cake and crunchy topping, it has become a favorite at our house. -Amy Mitchell, Sabetha, Kansas

this is suspiciously close to a recipe of mine that was originally published in a 1990 issue of Country Woman. I've received many honors with my recipe, even years after it was published.

I made this one Christmas morning and now it's a tradition. My family loves it. It's a bit of work because the batter is pretty stiff but well worth it.

This is AWESOME, takes a little work but well worth it, used fresh blackberries once and it turned out good also, although it was a bit seedy. This is one of my favorite recipes.

Agree that the pan is not quite large enough. I also substituted canned cherry pie filling for the raspberry filling. Wonderful!

Very very good. The ONLY issue I had with this recipe is the recommended pan is not large enough for the recipe. I had to leave about 1/2 the raspberry filling out and even then it ran over the edges. It was sooo tasty though. Fiance hates coffee cake due to the normally dry flavorless texture but he loved this. Caught him sneaking some as a midnight snack!

This recipe is not for the beginner cook. It is however fabulous tasting. For the cake batter, I used a food processor since the butter is used cold. This dough is stiff that's for sure. The bottom layer is challenging to 'spread'-it is more like dollop spoonfuls and use the butter wrapper to spread. After the raspberry layer, again, I dollopped the remaining batter. It also took 52 minutes to bake and my oven is usually right on temperature wise. So worth all the work. Next time I will put the raspberry filling through a fine sieve to eliminate most of the seeds before pouring over cake batter.
