There's nothing not to like about this coffee cake/dessert! You can change up the fruit to your liking. Its easy to make . . . a combination between a Platz and a cobbler. Another recipe from my mom.

- 1 - 6oz pkg raspberries (frozen)
Crumb Topping - ¾ cup sugar

- In a separate small bowl, beat eggs with fork, stir in buttermilk and vanilla.
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, stirring to moisten.
- Divide batter, spreading just over half of it (about 2/3) into greased pan.
