"Raspberries are abundant at our summer home nearby Aziscohos Lake," shares Marian Cummings, West Paris, Maine. "So I developed this recipe to share the bounty with our guests. The pretty crumb-topped cake's fruity flavor really shines through."

Ingredients

1 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar, divided
1/4 cup cornstarch
3 cups fresh or frozen unsweetened raspberries
2 cups biscuit/baking mix
2/3 cup 2% milk
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons canola oil
TOPPING:
1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cold butter, cubed

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar and cornstarch. Add raspberries; bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; cool.
Meanwhile, combine biscuit mix, milk, eggs, oil and remaining sugar. Spread two-thirds of biscuit mixture into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Top with raspberry mixture, followed by remaining biscuit mixture.
For topping, combine pudding mix and sugar. Cut in butter until crumbly; sprinkle over batter. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30-35 minutes.

I've made this recipe dozens of times. Everybody loves it. Cut back a bit on the sugar or use a little extra fruit in the filling. Use a food processor to make the crumb topping and it will look like the picture.

Overall I thought this was too dry. And the raspberry filling too sweet. I'd cut the sugar for sure. And the topping didn't look like the picture.

Shortcut:Use E.D. Smith (3times fruit/half the sugar) preserves instead of raspberry filling (Canadian).Or a good LOW sugar preserve.Even better.Even faster. Great recipe for holiday guests breakfast treat with coffee.
