Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375ºF. Line a 9-inch cake pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
Prepare the streusel: In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Mix well, then cut in the butter until a crumb mixture forms.
In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, cream the softened butter. Add granulated sugar and continue beating until fluffy. Incorporate the egg one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla and orange zest.
Add half of the milk and half of the flour mixture, stirring until just combined. Repeat with the remaining milk and flour, being careful not to overmix.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan, then layer with half of the raspberries. Top with the remaining batter, then the rest of the raspberries.
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the cake.
Bake for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center.
Let the cake cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before cutting into squares for serving.

Notes

Ensure the butter is cold when making the streusel topping for a crispier texture.
Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor, but frozen will work in a pinch; just increase bake time slightly.
