CHERRY CRUMBLE CAKE



Cherry crumble cake image

Make the most of juicy cherries in this cake, enriched with almonds and soured cream, and finished with a crumble topping. It's delicious with custard

Provided by Esther Clark

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Time 1h55m

Number Of Ingredients 11

180g salted butter , softened, plus extra for the tin
220g golden caster sugar
3 large eggs , lightly beaten
250g self-raising flour
½ tsp baking powder
50g ground almonds
80g soured cream
300g fresh cherries , stoned and halved
45g plain flour
35g cold salted butter , cubed
20g golden caster sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter the base of a deep 20cm loose-bottomed cake tin and line with baking parchment.
  • To make the crumble topping, put the flour and butter in a bowl and rub together with your fingertips until you have a coarse, crumbly texture. Stir through the sugar, then transfer to the fridge.
  • Beat the butter and sugar with an electric whisk for 5 mins until light and fluffy. Gradually whisk in the eggs, beating well after each addition. Fold in the flour, baking powder, ground almonds and soured cream, then most of the cherries, reserving a handful to garnish. Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and smooth over the top with a spatula. Dot with the reserved cherries, then bake in the centre of the oven for 30 mins.
  • Scatter over the crumble topping, then return the cake to the oven and bake for a further 30-50 mins until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin.
  • Slice the cake into thick wedges and serve with custard or ice cream, if you like. Store in a tin or airtight container for up to three days.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Cherries: Fresh cherries offer the best flavor and texture for this recipe. If using frozen cherries, thaw them completely before using and drain off any excess liquid.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense crumb cake. Mix only until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use Room Temperature Butter: Room temperature butter will cream together with the sugar more easily, resulting in a lighter and fluffier crumb cake.
  • Chill the Dough Before Baking: Chilling the dough before baking helps to prevent the crumb topping from spreading out too much. You can let it chill for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Bake the Cake Until a Toothpick Inserted into the Center Comes Out Clean: This ensures that the cake is cooked through without overbaking it.
  • Let the Cake Cool Before Cutting: The cake should cool completely before cutting into it. This allows the flavors to develop and the crumb topping to set.

Conclusion:

This cherry crumb cake squares recipe is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The sweet and tart cherries, combined with the buttery crumb topping, create a delicious and irresistible treat. Whether you're serving it for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, this cake is sure to be a hit. So, gather your ingredients and give this recipe a try - you won't be disappointed!
