Lemon-Raspberry Coffeecake

I got the recipe for this cake from a Better Homes and Gardens magazine (April 2012). Because I didn't want to keep the whole magazine I just cut the page and it's kind of wrinkled and dirty... so for keeping it for further occasions I'll type it here and that way you can make it too.

When I first read Coffeecake I thought there was coffee involved in the recipe, and there's not so I think it means that is a cake for coffee time... which works perfectly!

Stop with the chit-chat and here's the recipe::

Lemon-Raspberry Coffeecake

Cut wedges straight from the pan or transfer the cake to a serving plate for pretty presentation.
