Lush Raspberry Cinnamon Swirl Coffee Cake

I saw these fabulous, ruby red raspberries at the market, and I couldn’t resist.  I had to make this Raspberry Cinnamon Swirl Coffee Cake!  And this decadent coffee cake is a one heck of a doozy!  

Fresh, lush raspberries always remind me of 2 things.  Summer and Valentine’s Day.  They are just so elegant and bursting with love!  

So why not put them in a wonderful, delicious moist buttermilk coffee cake surrounded with mouth-watering swirls of cinnamon sugar, I ask myself? 

It wasn’t hard to convince myself.  *Shocker!*

It’s super amazing and has a wonderful texture!  

The family will absolutely love this Lush Raspberry Cinnamon Swirl Coffee Cake!  You may get lots of extra hugs and kisses too!  Here’s the recipe!  Happy Baking!
