"This is a recipe from my Mom and I've had to be a detective to figure out where she got it from. I think this one is from Cooking Light because it seems to be somewhat 'lightened'. The original recipe called for 2 T. of margarine but we don't use margarine in my house so I've replaced it with butter. Use the margarine if you wish (margarine has trans fats but I won't do the lecture)."

I thought this would be great because of the good reviews but it was way too sweet and I didn't even use the glaze. Might try this again but use less sugar and maybe double the dough recipe.

I have an almost identical recipe to this that I found on the internet. I just want to back up the other reviewers' comments because it is an excellent, low fat moist coffee cake. It does not serve 8 in our home - more like 4, but then I have a weakness for coffee cakes.

I have made this exact recipe, I got it from an online membership to a weekly menu planner. I have made the cake many times. It is always a hit. The recipe I have says to use frozen raspberries without thawing.

This was a nice light coffee cake. Very easy to make, and the raspberry flavor really shines through. Mine only took 20 minutes, not 40, so keep an eye on it the first time you prepare it. I didn't have yogurt, so I substituted sour cream, and no almonds either, so i just put a splash or two of almond extract in the dough and the glaze. Sprinkled a little extra sugar on top to make it shine. Thanks Jude.

This was absolutely gorgeous - thank you! Added ground almonds to the dough, rather than sliced on top, but other than that, didn't change a thing! Will definately make this again, maybe with some different fruit next time.
