CRUMB CAKE WITH COCONUT-PISTACHIO TOPPING



Crumb Cake With Coconut-Pistachio Topping image

Called the "new deli" crumb cake at Zingerman's in Ann Arbor, Mich., this incredibly moist sour cream cake has a traditionally nubby topping speckled with coconut. It's also gently warmed with the Indian spices that make a cup of chai so irresistible: ginger, cardamom and cloves. The recipe comes from the deli's long-awaited cookbook, "Zingerman's Bakehouse," by head bakers Amy Emberling and Frank Carollo.

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon/50 grams all-purpose flour
5 tablespoons/60 grams Muscovado or other dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup/30 grams sweetened flaked coconut
1/2 cup/50 grams coarsely chopped pistachios

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups/190 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

Steps:

  • Make the topping: In a small skillet, melt together butter and coconut oil. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, salt, cardamom, ginger, and cloves. Pour in melted butter mixture, and stir with a fork until well mixed and crumbly. (Do not overmix, or it will turn to paste.) Use your fingers to mix in coconut and pistachios.
  • Spread on a rimmed baking sheet and let dry overnight or in the oven (see Note).
  • Make the cake: Heat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a 9-inch round cake pan with nonstick spray.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, mix together sugar and butter on medium speed until the color lightens. Mix in eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated and homogenous. Mix in sour cream and vanilla until light and creamy.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to creamed butter mixture and mix until smooth.
  • Scrape into prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Evenly distribute topping over cake batter, making sure to put topping along the edge. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 55 to 65 minutes. Cool to room temperature before serving.
