Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Crumb Cake

Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Crumb Cake is delicious dessert for chocolate lovers. If you love cheesecake, chocolate cake, coffee cakes or crumb cakes, this delicious combo of those three desserts packed in one yummy cake will sweep you of your feet. However, if raspberry cheesecake filling seems to you as a perfect match with crumb or coffee cake, although you are not huge fun of chocolate, then you should try this Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake.

A few years ago, I shared the recipe for coffee cake with raspberry and cheesecake filling. But that cake had just a thin layer of cream cheese filling and raspberries on top. After my recent recipe for Blueberry Cheesecake Crumb Cake, I liked so much a thick layer of cheesecake filling in side my crumb cake. Moreover, that cake was something between crumb cake and cheesecake. And you all now how much I love cheesecakes…

But, beside cheesecakes, my biggest love is chocolate! I love everything chocolatey! Chocolate cakes, cupcakes, muffins, cookies… So, I thought: how about a chocolate crumb cake?! I love to eat crumb cakes or coffee cakes for breakfast alongside my morning cup of coffee. That’s my excuse to eat cakes for breakfast! However, chocolate crumb cake will be great way to have a little chocolate for breakfast, too.
