MIXED BERRY COFFEE CAKE



Mixed Berry Coffee Cake image

Use thawed frozen berries to add lots of flavor with little effort.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch fine salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more, for the pan
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
2 cups frozen mixed berries, thawed

Steps:

  • Combine the flour, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl and mix to combine. Add the butter and mix thoroughly with your fingers or a fork until all of the butter has been evenly distributed and incorporated into the flour. Form into small to medium clumps with your fingers.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8-inch square cake pan.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.
  • Beat the butter and granulated sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour, beating until just incorporated.
  • Spoon half of the cake batter (it will be very thick) into the prepared pan and smooth with an offset spatula. Sprinkle the berries on top. Spoon the remaining cake batter on top and smooth the top. Sprinkle on the crumb topping.
  • Bake until the cake and topping are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about an hour. Let cool in the pan 20 minutes, then invert onto a plate and re-invert onto a rack to cool completely.

FRESH BLUEBERRY COFFEE CAKE



Fresh Blueberry Coffee Cake image

This recipe is from an old Southern Living Cookbook. I've made it many times and have copied the recipe for several people who loved it. I use a bundt pan, but you could try other pans like 2 loaf pans or a 9x13. Serve for breakfast, a brunch or even an after dinner dessert. Just be careful when placing the blueberry layer. It's pretty heavy so it will sink. Placing it closer to the top of the wet batter works best.

Categories     Breads

Time 1h20m

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/4 cups fresh blueberries
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3/4 cup butter, softened (margarine ok)
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sour cream (regular or light)
1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
3/4 cup finely chopped pecans
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon warm water
1/2 teaspoon almond extract

  • Cream butter, sugar, eggs togther in a bowl with mixer. Combine flour, baking powder, soda and salt; add to creamed mixtgure, alternating with sour cream. Stir in almond extract.
  • Spoon half of the batter into the greased bundt pan or 2 loaf pans.
  • Spoon half blueberry sauce on top of the batter evenly, so it's not in a lump that may sink.
  • Spoon the remaining batter on top. Sprinkle with chopped peacans.
  • Bake at 350 for 40-50 minutes or until done. Let cool and remove from the pan.
  • Glaze: Combine ingredients and mix well.

Tips:

  • Prep Your Pan Properly: To ensure your coffee cake doesn't stick, grease and flour your pan before pouring in the batter. This extra step will make cleanup a breeze.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can lead to a tough, dense coffee cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. A few lumps are okay.
  • Use Fresh Berries: Fresh berries add a burst of flavor and color to your coffee cake. If you don't have fresh berries on hand, frozen berries can be used instead. Just thaw them before using.
  • Don't Skimp on the Crumb Topping: The crumb topping is what makes coffee cake so special. Don't be afraid to be generous with it. The more crumb topping, the better.
  • Bake Until a Toothpick Inserted in the Center Comes Out Clean: This is the best way to ensure your coffee cake is cooked through. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean, with no wet batter attached.

Conclusion:

Fresh berry coffee cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that's perfect for any occasion. With its moist crumb, sweet and tangy berries, and crunchy crumb topping, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast or snack, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
