Fresh raspberries play a starring role in this appealing coffee cake. Baked in an 8" round pan, it will make 8 servings. For a larger group double the recipe and bake in a 9" x 13" pan. Based on a recipe in Taste of Home Magazine.

      There doesn't seem to be any coffee in the cake?

        In England you have "tea cakes". In the U.S. we have "coffee cakes." It's just a classification of a quick bread generally SERVED WITH coffee.
