Ingredients

For the Crust and Crumb Topping:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar

  • ½ cup sugar

  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

  • 2 eggs

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 oz. cream cheese, softened

  • ½ cup sugar

  • 2 tablespoons corn starch

  • 2 eggs, slightly beaten

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 and 2/3 cups raspberries

For the Glaze:

  • ½ cup powdered sugar

  • 2–3 teaspoons milk or cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare the Pan:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

  1. Make the Crust and Crumb Topping:

  • In a large bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, brown sugar, and sugar. Add cold butter and blend with hands or a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add eggs and vanilla, stirring until combined and crumbly.

  1. Form the Crust:

  • Press about 2/3 of the crumb mixture into the bottom and sides (about 1½ inch up) of the prepared pan. Chill the crust and remaining crumb mixture in the fridge.

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

  • In a bowl, beat together cream cheese, sugar, corn starch, and vanilla until smooth. Add eggs and mix just until combined. Do not overmix.

  1. Assemble the Cake:

  • Pour half of the cheesecake filling into the chilled crust. Scatter 2/3 cup of raspberries over the filling. Pour the remaining cheesecake mixture on top, followed by the rest of the raspberries. Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the top.

  1. Bake:

  • Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown and set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

  1. Prepare the Glaze:

  • Mix powdered sugar with milk or cream until smooth. Adjust consistency as needed. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
