BLUEBERRY CRUMB CAKE



Blueberry Crumb Cake image

It's easy to find an occasion to serve this cake - breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner or snacktime will do. The dominant flavor here is the berries. Don't be tempted to increase the amount of walnuts in the topping - scarcity makes them even more delightful.

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 19

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 pint (2 cups) fresh blueberries (preferably fresh, or frozen, not thawed)
2 cups plus 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2/3 cup sugar
Grated zest of 1/2 lemon or 1/4 orange
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Getting ready: Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8x8-inch pan (Pyrex is great for this) and put it on a lined baking sheet.
  • To make the crumbs: Put all the ingredients except the nuts in a food processor and pulse just until the mixture forms clumps and curds and holds together when pressed. Scrape the topping into a bowl, stir in the nuts and press a piece of plastic against the surface. Refrigerate until needed. (Covered well, the crumb mix can be refrigerated for about 3 days.)
  • To make the cake batter: Using your fingertips, toss the blueberries and 2 teaspoons of the flour together just to coat the berries; set aside. Whisk together the remaining 2 cups flour, the baking powder, soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
  • Working in the bowl of a stand mixer or in another large bowl, rub the sugar and zest together with your fingertips until the sugar is moist and aromatic. Add the butter and, with the paddle or whisk attachment, or with a hand mixer, beat the sugar with the butter at medium speed until light, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one by one, beating for about 1 minute after each addition, then beat in the vanilla extract. Don't be concerned if the batter looks curdled - it will soon smooth out. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour mixture and the buttermilk alternately, the flour in 3 parts, the buttermilk in 2 (begin and end with the dry ingredients). You will have a thick, creamy batter. With a rubber spatula, gently stir in the berries.
  • Scrape the batter into the buttered pan and smooth the top gently with the spatula. Pull the crumb mix from the refrigerator and, working with your fingertips, break it into pieces. There's no need to try to get even pieces - these are crumbs and they're supposed to be lumpy and bumpy and every shape and size. Scatter the crumbs over the batter, pressing them down ever so slightly.
  • Slide the sheet into the oven and bake 55 to 65 minutes, or until the crumbs are golden and a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Transfer the cake to a rack and cool just until it is warm or until it reaches room temperature.

BLUEBERRY CRUMB CAKE

For weekend entertaining, planning a menu that can be made in large quantities is essential. A host expecting weekend guests should shop ahead and, well before guests arrive, prepare the recipes that will keep, saving the most perishable for the last minute. Take this cake that Molly O'Neill brought into The Times in 1993, a confection that can play dessert as well as breakfast. As a dessert, slices of the cake can be garnished with whipped cream, a compote of fresh berries or ice cream. For breakfast, slices can be toasted and served with butter, fresh ricotta or marscapone, or warmed in the oven and served with fresh fruit.

Tips:

  • Use fresh blueberries: Fresh blueberries yield the best flavor, but frozen blueberries can be used in a pinch. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them completely before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough cake. Mix the batter only until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps to prevent the cake from spreading too much. If you don't have time to chill the dough, you can bake it immediately, but the cake may not be as tall.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is fully baked.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set.
