Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 0.75 cups buttermilk
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1.5 cups fresh rhubarb, diced
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 0.75 cups brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour (for topping)
- 0.25 cups butter, chilled and cubed
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x9-inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the diced rhubarb and raspberries, making sure they're evenly distributed in the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
In a small bowl, prepare the crumb topping by mixing the brown sugar, 0.5 cups of flour, and cinnamon. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut in the chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter in the pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the coffee cake to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
