Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 squares of glazed raspberry crumb cake

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the pan
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
2 cups fresh raspberries
1 cup raspberry jam
1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
3 to 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the long sides.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, ginger, salt, baking soda and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl in between, and beat until combined. Mix in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour. Beat on high speed for a few seconds just until smooth. Spread the batter in the baking dish.
  • Arrange the raspberries evenly over the batter, pressing them in. Dollop the jam in the empty spaces, then gently smooth with a spoon so the surface is evenly covered with jam and raspberries.
  • Make the crumb topping: Stir the brown sugar, flour, oats, ginger and salt in a medium bowl. Add the butter and work it in with your fingers to form a sandy mixture with small to medium clumps. Sprinkle evenly over the raspberry layer. Bake until puffed and set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few crumbs and a little bit of jam, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely, at least 1 hour. Remove from the pan and cut into 12 squares.
  • Make the glaze: Put the confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl; add the lemon juice, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the glaze is thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over the cake and let set.
