Delicious Raspberry Almond Crumb Loaf

This loaf cake features a tender crumb infused with fresh raspberries and almond extract, topped with a buttery almond crumb. The recipe takes about 1 hour from start to finish and serves 8 slices.

Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup sliced almonds for topping
• 1/4 cup brown sugar for topping
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour for topping
• 2 tablespoons cold butter, cubed for topping

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. Make the Batter: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the almond extract.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the raspberries.
4. Prepare the Crumb Topping: In a small bowl, combine the sliced almonds, brown sugar, flour, and cubed cold butter. Mix until crumbly.
5. Assemble and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cool and Serve: Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve as a cozy dessert with tea or coffee.
