Raspberry Cheesecake Crumb Cake
Raspberry Cheesecake Crumb Cake is combo or delicious raspberry cheesecake and crumb cake. Cheesecake filling is smooth and creamy and simply bursting with raspberries!
The crust and topping are made from the same mixture, so it means much less work and less dirty dishes, too.
And the best part about this Raspberry Cheesecake Crumb Cake is that delicious raspberry cheesecake filling is hidden inside crumb cake. And that is what makes this cake totally acceptable breakfast cake, right?! At least that’s my perfect excuse to eat dessert as soon as I get out of bed.
A few years ago, I shared the recipe for Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake. That was moist and buttery cake with creamy cheesecake filling, juicy raspberries and crunchy streusel topping. To tell the truth, it was more breakfast cake than this one.
Since I am true cheesecake lover, I’m always in the mood for a larger dose of cheesecake filling versus cake part. So, I had to make a new version with a thick layer of raspberry cheesecake filling. Actually, there’s more filling than crust and topping in this cake. Creamy filling trapped inside delicious cake with crunchy streusel crumb on top is irresistible!
For chocolate lovers, I have a chocolate version, too. It’s Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Crumb Cake.

This Raspberry Cheesecake Crumb Cake is a delicious combo of two desserts: crumb cake and raspberry cheesecake. This easy dessert recipe gives you two cakes packed into one amazing treat.
Ingredients
Crumb Cake:
- 3 and 1/3 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup butter-cold and cut in cubes
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Raspberry Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz. mascarpone cheese
- 8 oz. cream cheese-softened
- ½ cup + 2 Tablespoons sugar
- 2 Tablespoons corn starch
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups of fresh raspberries
Glaze:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 teaspoons milk or cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line the bottom of 9 inches springform pan with parchment paper, spray bottom and sides of the pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl stir together flour, baking powder, salt, brown sugar and sugar.
- Add butter in dry ingredients mixture. Now, you can work it with hands, or press with a fork, or you can use the mixer. Work it until it’s grainy.
- Add eggs and vanilla and mix to combine. The mixture should be crumbly. If it’s to sandy squeeze it with your fingers to make pea size crumbs.
- Press about 2/3 of the mixture in the bottom and side (about 1 ½ inch height) of the pan. Place the pan and remaining crumbs in the fridge.
- To make the filling mix together cream cheese, mascarpone, vanilla, sugar and corn starch to combine. Add eggs and mix just to combine, do not overdo it.
- Pour half of the cheesecake mixture in chilled crust, scattered about 1 cup of raspberries over the filling. Spread remaining cheesecake mixture. Top with raspberries and remaining crumbs.
- Bake at 350 F until golden brown and toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 70-80 minutes. If it starts browning too much tent the top with aluminum foil.
- Cool completely before serving. To make the glaze stir together powdered sugar and milk or cream. If it’s too thin add powdered sugar, if it’s too thick add more milk or cream. Drizzle on top of cooled cake. Keep covered in the fridge.

Hello, I saved recipes from your website a while ago and forget about it, and now that I come back I can say that I’ll definitely like your posts! Great job and thanks for sharing! 😉
My favorite cake! Crumb and cheesecake ! Yummy.
Thinking of an Easter dessert. Can I make it ahead n freeze it? Love your posts.
Thanks. I haven’t tried to freeze it, but I think it will work fine.
do you use salted butter or unsalted butter?
Hi Kristi, use unsalted butter. If you use salted butter, then omit the salt in the recipe. Happy baking!
Can I use strawberries?
HI Michelle, you can use strawberries. Use sliced or diced strawberries.
I made the blueberry cheesecake crumb cake for Easter as a dish to pass. I got many comments on the beautiful presentation of the dessert. When I tried a small piece of the cake I found it lacking in flavor. The flour taste was bout all I could taste in the crumb cake part a The blueberries were the only thing that had flavor.Tthe cheesecake was very bland. also. Could you tell me what went wrong?
Hello Sue Mitchell~Since you didn’t receive a response, I’m going to give you a few suggestions that I added that worked for me. I’m also going to preface this by saying…a recipe that calls for fresh berries will only be flavorful when the berries are harvested at their optimum sweetness. Some of the berry varieties or seasoned fruit are either under or over ripe and can sometimes give off a dull flavor, producing a dull cake. But, with that said, how I really bump it up a notch…I always stir in seedless jam with the berries (or fruit) producing an amazing glaze! I do this to any recipe containing fresh berries and or fruit. To the fruit you can add an optional couple teaspoons of fresh squeezed lemon juice, it enhances the berries and or fruit flavor. To enrich the flavor of the cake I mixed in brown sugar with the granulated sugar around 1/4-1/2 cup, along with an add of 2 teaspoons of cinnamon to the crumble cake mixture. Compliments will follow with a request for the recipe.
