Blueberry Pecan Crunch Cake image

Topped with coarse Demerara sugar and chopped pecans, this might just be the crunchiest coffee cake you've ever made. It's also one of the easiest, as it's quickly whisked together in just one bowl. Soft, juicy blueberries dot the cinnamon-scented batter, making jammy pockets in the tender crumb. It will keep at room temperature for up to three days, though the topping does lose a little texture the longer it sits. But this cake is so good, its keeping qualities may be beside the point.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups/337 grams sour cream
3/4 cup/170 grams unsalted butter (1 1/2 stick), melted and cooled
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/4 cups/250 grams granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 1/2 cups/312 grams all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups/200 grams blueberries
2/3 cup/85 grams chopped pecans (or walnuts or almonds)
2 tablespoons Demerara sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees and butter a 9-by-9-inch metal pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sour cream, butter, eggs, vanilla and salt until everything is well combined. Whisk in sugar. Add the dry ingredients in this order: baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon, whisking well in between additions. Then, whisk in the flour until just combined. Fold in blueberries.
  • Using a spatula, scrape the batter into the pan, smoothing the top. Sprinkle with the nuts and Demerara sugar. Bake until the top is golden and puffed, and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 50 to 60 minutes. Transfer the cake to a rack, and let it cool in the pan.

This cake is delicious, but it's very rich. I would recommend serving it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.

I had some trouble getting the cake to bake evenly. The center was still a little gooey after the recommended baking time.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
