Carol Burnett's Raspberry Riches

I’m not sure where I got this recipe.  It’s in my recipe box from 2003 so, I'm pretty sure it was in a magazine somewhere.   It is REALLY good.  Kind of like a heavy cakey cobbler meets dutch apple pie  minus apples + chocolate… LOL!

      1 cup flour, sifted
      3/4 cup granulated sugar
      1/2 teaspoon baking powder
      1/4 teaspoon baking soda
      1/4 teaspoon salt
      1 egg
      1/3 cup buttermilk
      1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
      1/3 cup unsalted butter
      1 1/4 cups fresh red raspberries

Melt unsalted butter, and cool to room temp. Preheat oven to 375(f).

Prepare an 8- or 9-inch round or square baking pan.  (smear with butter)

In a bowl mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

In large mixing bowl: beat together egg, buttermilk and vanilla extract. Stir in butter. Add dry ingredients and beat with a wooden spoon until nearly smooth.

Spread batter evenly in prepared pan and sprinkle with raspberries.

Top with Sugar Crumb Topping (recipe below)

Bake in preheated oven until golden browned, about 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool until warm.

      Sugar Crumb Topping

      1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
      1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
      1 1/2 teaspoons semisweet chocolate, grated
      2 tablespoons flour

      Using a food processer or blender, process to a fine (crumbly) consistency.
