Ingredients

Scale

Cake

  • 1 box Chocolate Cake Mix (plus ingredients called for on the box)

Raspberry Layer

  • 1 cup Raspberry Jam

Crumb Topping

  • 2.5 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Cinnamon
  • 2.5 sticks Butter, melted and cooled slightly (about 10 tablespoons)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Bake Cake Base: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the package instructions and pour the batter into your baking dish. Bake for 15-20 minutes until partially cooked. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
  2. Warm Raspberry Jam: Place the raspberry jam in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it for about 30 seconds until warm. This warming makes the jam easier to spread smoothly.
  3. Spread Jam on Cake: Pour the warmed raspberry jam evenly over the partially baked chocolate cake. Use the back of a spoon to spread the jam into an even layer.
  4. Prepare Crumb Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon until combined. Stir in the melted and slightly cooled butter until the mixture is evenly moist.
  5. Add Crumb Topping to Cake: Using your fingers, gently break up the crumb mixture into small pieces and sprinkle it evenly over the raspberry layer on the cake.
  6. Finish Baking: Return the cake to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cake is fully cooked through and the crumb topping is lightly golden.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy your decadent Chocolate Raspberry Coffee Cake!

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for the crumb topping to help it blend evenly.
  • If raspberry jam is too thick, you can thin it slightly with a teaspoon of water before warming.
  • Make sure not to fully bake the cake base before adding jam to maintain a moist and tender texture underneath the topping.
  • This cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
  • For an extra indulgence, serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
