How to Make Raspberry Crumble Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, rolled oats, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, stirring until the mixture is crumbly and well combined.
- Press half of the crumble mixture into the bottom of the prepared cake pan to form a base.
- Evenly spread the fresh raspberries over the crumble base.
- Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture on top of the raspberries, covering them completely.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the raspberries are bubbly.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the berry sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the remaining raspberries, water, and cornstarch. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 5-7 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Once the cake is done, allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve slices of the cake drizzled with the berry sauce.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor and texture; frozen raspberries may release too much moisture.
- Make sure to let the cake cool before slicing to ensure clean edges.
- For a crispier topping, consider adding chopped nuts to the crumble mixture.
Easy Variations
- Swap raspberries for blueberries, strawberries, or a mix of berries for a different flavor profile.
- Add a teaspoon of cinnamon to the crumble for a warm, spiced flavor.
- Incorporate a layer of cream cheese or mascarpone spread between the layers for added richness.
What to Serve With It
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added creaminess
- Fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness
- A cup of tea or coffee to complement the dessert
