Description
They won’t know that this raspberry coffee cake is low calorie and low fat. The only thing they will know is that you are an excellent baker and this cake is delicious. I usually do not bother with the glaze. The recipe loses nothing if you opt for a glaze free coffee cake. Enjoy! P.S. This is 3 points per slice.

Instructions
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC).
-
Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, low-fat plain yogurt, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
-
Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl. Gently fold the mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
-
Layer Batter: Spoon two-thirds of the batter into an 8-inch round baking pan, which can be a pie or cake pan coated with non-stick cooking spray. Spread it evenly along the bottom.
-
Add Raspberry Layer: In a small bowl, gently mix the brown sugar with the unsweetened raspberries. Sprinkle this raspberry mixture evenly over the batter in the pan.
-
Top with Remaining Batter: Spoon the remaining batter over the raspberry layer. Try to cover the raspberries as evenly as possible.
-
Sprinkle with Almonds: For an extra touch of flavor and texture, sprinkle some sliced almonds over the top of the batter.
-
Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. The cake is ready when it springs back lightly to the touch and turns a beautiful golden brown.
-
Cool and Glaze: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Prepare Glaze: While the cake is cooling, mix the confectioners’ sugar, nonfat milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl to create the glaze.
-
Drizzle Glaze: Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top. You can use a spoon, fork, or a piping bag for a fancier finish.
