Muffin Top Coffee Cake
The top of this blueberry raspberry coffee cake is sprinkled with sugar before it is baked. This creates a wonderfully sweet crust to the cake that works so well with the tangy fresh fruits.
It has that wonderful texture you find on muffins. Yum!
Can you use frozen fruit in this recipe?
I prefer to use fresh raspberries and blueberries, but you can use frozen berries if that’s what you have. If you use frozen, be sure to keep them in the freezer until you are ready to put them in the batter and bake the cake.
If you add them when they are thawed or thawing they will release too much liquid into the batter.
How long does this cake last?
If you keep the coffee cake in an airtight container at room temperature it will be good for around 3 or 4 days. However, you can extend the shelf life to one week by storing it in the fridge.
Ensure that it is either wrapped in clingwrap/aluminum foil or stored in an airtight container to prevent it from drying out.
Tips!
- Be sure to grease your pan so that the Blueberry Raspberry Coffee Cake can be removed easily.
- Cook the cake in a pre-heated oven so that it bakes evenly.
- The cake is baked when it is a deep golden brown and slightly pulls away from the sides of the pan. It should have a crackled top.
This blueberry coffee cake is the perfect thing to serve on weekend mornings with coffee, for Easter Brunch , or any time you need something sweet!

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
This is the perfect grocery list filled with all the basics and essentials. It should help get you going if you’re new to cooking, or if you’re just left staring helplessly at an empty pantry and don’t know how to fill it.
When I first started cooking, things could seem overwhelming. I quickly realized that they more prepared I could be, the more confident I felt. If you already have the basics in your kitchen, then you can shop stress-free.
So print out our easy grocery list, stock up your pantry and fridge, and you’ll be cooking in no time!
