BLUEBERRY PECAN CRUNCH CAKE



Blueberry Pecan Crunch Cake image

Topped with coarse Demerara sugar and chopped pecans, this might just be the crunchiest coffee cake you've ever made. It's also one of the easiest, as it's quickly whisked together in just one bowl. Soft, juicy blueberries dot the cinnamon-scented batter, making jammy pockets in the tender crumb. It will keep at room temperature for up to three days, though the topping does lose a little texture the longer it sits. But this cake is so good, its keeping qualities may be beside the point.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups/337 grams sour cream
3/4 cup/170 grams unsalted butter (1 1/2 stick), melted and cooled
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/4 cups/250 grams granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 1/2 cups/312 grams all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups/200 grams blueberries
2/3 cup/85 grams chopped pecans (or walnuts or almonds)
2 tablespoons Demerara sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees and butter a 9-by-9-inch metal pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sour cream, butter, eggs, vanilla and salt until everything is well combined. Whisk in sugar. Add the dry ingredients in this order: baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon, whisking well in between additions. Then, whisk in the flour until just combined. Fold in blueberries.
  • Using a spatula, scrape the batter into the pan, smoothing the top. Sprinkle with the nuts and Demerara sugar. Bake until the top is golden and puffed, and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 50 to 60 minutes. Transfer the cake to a rack, and let it cool in the pan.

BLUEBERRY AND PECAN CRUNCH PIE

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 10-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 recipe pie dough (bottom crust only)
2 pints of huckleberries
1 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Juice and the grated zest of 1 orange
Juice and grated zest of 1 lemon
1/2 cup dayold pound cake crumbs
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Roll the pie dough out to the size and shape of a 10-inch pie tin. Lay the dough into the pan and prick the bottom with the tines of a fork. Place a sheet of waxed paper over the pie dough and weigh it down with pie dough weights or clean dry beans, and blind bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool thoroughly.
  • Combine the berries, sugar, cornstarch, spices, citrus juice and zest in a bowl and mix well. Sprinkle the cake crumbs on the bottom of the prebaked pie crust. Fill the pie shell with the berry mixture and bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes.
  • While the pie is baking, combine the dry ingredients for the pecan crunch. Cut the butter into little cubes, add to the dry mixture and, with the palms of your hands, rub together to form large nuggets as big as peanuts, no larger than walnuts.
  • After the pie has baked for 15 minutes, sprinkle the crunch all over the top, reduce the oven heat to 350 degrees and bake an additional 45 minutes. If the crunch begins to darken too quickly, cover with aluminum foil. Cool the pie for at least an 2 hours before serving.

BLUEBERRY PECAN CRUMBLE

BBQ season also means fresh blueberry season -- they're at their best and their least expensive! Top them with a buttery, rich, crispy, crumbly topping laced with pecans and I'm in heaven. The tart fruitiness of the berries is the perfect thing to clean your palette after all those bold BBQ flavors. Serve with vanilla ice cream to get the full crumble experience.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh blueberries. If frozen blueberries are used, thaw them and drain them before adding them to the batter.
  • To properly toast the pecans, spread them on a baking sheet and bake them at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the pan before pouring in the batter.
  • For a moist cake, do not overbake it. Check the doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

The Blueberry Pecan Crunch Cake is a delicious and versatile dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and fluffy texture, sweet and tangy blueberry filling, and crunchy pecan topping, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
