Buttery Raspberry Streusel Filled Coffee Cake

I have made this cake a number of times in the past, both with raspberries and also with blueberries, also the original recipe states that you may use frozen, i have only made this using fresh berries, if using frozen berries, you might want to increase the baking time. It is just delicious!....the fruit mixed in the batter makes this a wonderful buttery moist cake with a layer of spice streusel flowing through it and sprinkled on top..! . Remember that this can be made using frozen blueberries also.
