This coffee cake is spiked with just the slightest hint of citrus, which really brings out the best in the Pink Lady apple filling.
Instructions
For the crumb topping:
- Place the butter, flour, sugar, salt, and lemon zest in a small bowl and stir together with a fork until crumbly.
For the cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and mist a 9-inch diameter springform pan with non-stick spray.
- Place the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
- Add the softened butter, and mix on medium-low speed until the mixture resembles damp sand.
- Stir in the eggs, one at a time, stopping to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl with a silicone spatula after each addition.
- Add the sour cream, vanilla, lemon juice, and lemon zest, and mix on medium-high speed for 60 to 90 seconds, to aerate the batter and build the cake’s structure.
- Transfer about half the batter to the prepared pan. Top with apples and raspberries.
- Sprinkle with half of the crumb topping, then spread the remaining cake batter on top.
- Top with the remaining crumb topping, and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the thickest part of the cake comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool completely, and drizzle with raspberry glaze.
For the glaze:
- Place the raspberries in a mini-chopper or food processor with 1/4 cup of the sugar, and pulse until pureed smoothly.
- Transfer the puree to a small bowl, and stir in the remaining powdered sugar.
