Very Berry Coffee Cake is a great recipe for brunch or even a snack!
You guys are probably getting sick of all my strawberry recipes, but I just can’t help myself! Berries are definitely my weakness! Today I combined my two favorite berries- strawberries and raspberries- to create this delicious Very Berry Coffee Cake.
When I told my kids I had Very Berry Coffee Cake in the oven baking, Miss Magoo (my 4 year old) quite seriously told me that she probably shouldn’t have any, since it’s not good for kids to have too much coffee. Once I assured her that coffee cake does not actually have any coffee in it, she was willing to give it a try!
If you don’t like raspberries, or you don’t like strawberries, you can definitely use a full 3 cups of just one of the berries, instead of both.
This Berry Coffee Cake isn’t too sweet, so if you prefer a sweeter dish, you could add a streusel to the top before baking it, or a glaze after baking it. Personally, I like it a little less on the sweet side, so it was just perfect for me.

Malinda, thanks for stopping by!
What a fantastic cake Jamie! Raspberries and strawberries are such an excellent combo. I will be cheeky and add extra streusel 😉
Ai Lin, I don’t blame you a bit! The streusel would definitely make it a dessert! 🙂

Thank you so much Wanda Ann! I appreciate it!
And a yummy treat it was too! That piece on the plate…MINE! I liked the fact that it was sweet enough to satisfy but not so sweet that I needed too much coffee to not be good for me (cuz I’m just a young’un too.) Excellent recipe Jamie. I may just have to break down and use it one day!
Thanks, Jan! It was great to share it with you and have a chance to chat! We need to do it again 🙂
