Raspberry Buckle

"Blueberry buckle" was added to the Canadian Oxford Dictionary as a unique Maritime Canadian-ism, but raspberries are also fantastic in this recipe. It's a simple fruit-filled cake that is quick to prepare. The streusel-link topping gives it a buckled appearance. This version is from Len Margaret's 1980 Fish & brewis, toutens & tales: recipes and recollections from St. Leonard's, Newfoundland.
