Time 2h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 cup whole almonds
¼ cup butter, softened
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, at room temperature
2 cups white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs
3 very ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup plain yogurt
½ cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add almonds and toast slowly, watching carefully and stirring constantly until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool, about 5 minutes. Chop into coarse pieces.
  • Combine butter, brown sugar, flour, white sugar, and cinnamon for streusel in a bowl. Blend using a pastry blender. Stir in almonds gently and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease and flour a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
  • Mix flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl and set aside.
  • Beat butter in a bowl using an electric mixer until fluffy. Add sugar and whip until fluffy. Add vanilla extract and mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix bananas into batter on low speed until just blended. Alternate adding flour mixture and yogurt until batter is combined.
  • Place 1/4 cup of batter into the prepared cake pan. Layer with 1/2 of the streusel mixture. Add another 1/4 cup of batter and top with remaining streusel. Add remaining batter; pan will be very full, but should not overflow.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a wooden skewer or long spaghetti noodle inserted into the center of the cake comes out very clean, 65 to 75 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Invert the pan onto the rack to remove the cake.
  • While cake begins to cool, mix confectioners' sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and salt until icing is well blended. Poke the top and sides of the cake gently with a fork while still warm. Drizzle icing over cake. Serve warm or allow to cool completely before serving.

MEYER LEMON COFFEE CAKE WITH ALMOND STREUSEL RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Meyer Lemon Coffee Cake with Almond Streusel Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by á-25138

Number Of Ingredients 18

For the streusel
3/4 cup almond meal
3/4 cup crushed lemon wafers (30 wafers, crumbled in a food processor)*
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (6 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut in cubes
For the cake
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons Meyer lemon zest
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
2 cups lemon curd

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch angel food cake pan. Make the streusel by combining the almond meal, crushed lemon wafers, brown sugar, and salt in a bowl. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, cut in the butter until the streusel comes together into a course crumble. Chill in the refrigerator until later. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cream the butter, sugar and lemon zest in the bowl of a mixer until light and fluffy, for about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, incorporating them one at a time, followed by the vanilla. Add the flour mixture on low speed in batches, alternating with the sour cream. Put half the batter in the cake pan and smooth evenly. Drizzle about 1 cup of the lemon curd on top, making sure to leave a 1 inch border from the inner and outer perimeter (any curd that hits the edges will risk browning the edges of the cake). Top with the remaining batter, using a spatula to smooth. Pour remaining lemon curd on top, again leaving room around the perimeter. Spread the streusel on top. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown and toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edges and remove the outer ring. Cool for another 15 minutes then remove the center tube. Using 2 large spatulas, life the cake from the center ring and continue to cool until ready to serve

to Almond Streusel Cake Recipes

Almond streusel cake is a delicious dessert that incorporates the nuttiness of almonds and the sweetness of a cake. It is topped with a buttery crumbly layer, known as streusel, which enhances its texture and gives it an irresistible taste.

Ingredients in Almond Streusel Cake Recipes

The basic ingredients in almond streusel cake recipes comprise flour, almond flour, butter, sugar, egg, baking soda, salt, and milk. The quantities and ratios of these ingredients may vary from recipe to recipe, but they are essential in achieving the desired taste and texture. Some variations may include additional ingredients like vanilla extract or lemon zest to enhance the flavor.
Flour
Flour acts as the base of the cake and carries the other ingredients within it. All-purpose flour is the most commonly used type in almond streusel cake recipes, while some may prefer a combination of all-purpose and pastry flour.
Almond Flour
Almond flour is what gives this cake its nutty flavor. It is made from grinding almonds into a fine powder and used in place of traditional flour.
Butter
Butter adds richness to the cake and is responsible for the crumbly layer on top of the cake. Unsalted butter is typically used to give more control over the amount of salt in the recipe.
Sugar
Sugar is responsible for the sweetness of the cake. It can be either white granulated sugar or brown sugar, depending on the recipe.
Egg
Eggs act as the binding agent in this recipe. They provide structure to the cake and help it rise.
Baking Soda
Baking soda is a leavening agent used in the cake recipe to help it rise.
Salt
A small amount of salt is used to balance the sweetness of the cake and enhance the overall flavor.
Milk
Milk is a common ingredient used in many cake recipes to provide moisture to the cake and help it bake evenly.

Preparation of Almond Streusel Cake Recipes

The preparation of almond streusel cake recipes involves mixing the dry and wet ingredients separately before combining them. The dry ingredients, including the flour, sugar, and baking soda, are mixed in one bowl, while the wet ingredients, including the egg, melted butter, and milk, are mixed in another bowl. Once the dry and wet ingredients are mixed separately, they are then combined to form the cake batter. The buttery crumbly layer, known as streusel, is prepared separately by mixing flour, sugar, and butter until a crumble texture is achieved. The streusel is then added on top of the cake batter, and it bakes along with the cake. Once baked, the cake is cooled, and the streusel forms a crispy layer on top.

Serving Almond Streusel Cake Recipes

Almond streusel cake is typically served as a dessert, either warm or at room temperature. The crunchy streusel layer and moist cake make it a perfect treat to enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea. It can be sliced into wedges or squares and served plain or with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream on top.

Conclusion

In conclusion, almond streusel cake is a delightful dessert that requires minimal ingredients and preparation time. It is perfect for any occasion, be it a casual family gathering or a formal dinner party. The incorporation of almonds and the buttery crumble layer make it stand out from other traditional cake recipes, making it a must-try for any baking enthusiast.
Almond streusel cake is a delectable dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a popular cake that is made from a soft and moist vanilla sponge cake, topped with a delicious crumbly layer of almond streusel. If you are a fan of baking and want to try your hand at making this dessert, there are some valuable tips that you should keep in mind. These tips will help you achieve the perfect almond streusel cake that everyone will love. Tip 1: Use Quality Ingredients When making an almond streusel cake, it is important to use quality ingredients. The cake will only taste as good as the ingredients that you use. So make sure that you use fresh and high-quality ingredients to ensure that the cake comes out perfectly. Use fresh eggs, real butter, good quality vanilla extract, and fresh almonds to get the best results. Tip 2: Make the Streusel Topping in Advance An important tip when making an almond streusel cake is to make the streusel topping in advance. This will give you time to prepare the other ingredients and ensure that you have enough time to bake the cake without any rush. Once you have made the streusel, keep it in an airtight container and refrigerate it until you are ready to use it. Tip 3: Use the Right Type of Flour Using the right type of flour is essential when making an almond streusel cake. It is best to use all-purpose flour for this recipe. The all-purpose flour gives the cake a good texture and helps it to hold up the streusel topping. Tip 4: Use Room Temperature Ingredients Another important tip when making an almond streusel cake is to use room temperature ingredients. The butter, eggs, and milk should be at room temperature for the best results. Room temperature ingredients mix together more easily and create a cohesive batter. Tip 5: Grease the Pan Greasing the pan is important when making an almond streusel cake. This will ensure that the cake does not stick to the pan and will come out easily. You can use butter or cooking spray to grease the pan. Tip 6: Mix the Streusel Topping Gently Mixing the streusel topping gently is important when making an almond streusel cake. You do not want to overmix the streusel, as this can cause it to become too crumbly or dense. Mix the ingredients just until they come together in clumps. Tip 7: Do Not Overmix the Batter Overmixing the cake batter is a common mistake when making an almond streusel cake. Overmixing can cause the cake to become tough and dry. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined. Tip 8: Add Almonds to the Batter Adding sliced or chopped almonds to the batter is a great way to enhance the almond flavor of the cake. Fold in the almonds just before pouring the batter into the baking pan. Tip 9: Bake the Cake at the Right Temperature Baking the cake at the right temperature is crucial when making an almond streusel cake. Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake the cake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center of the cake. Tip 10: Let the Cake Cool Before Serving Letting the cake cool before serving is important, as it helps the cake to set and the flavors to meld together. You can serve the cake warm or at room temperature, but it is best to let it cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting into it. Conclusion Making an almond streusel cake may seem daunting at first, but with these valuable tips, you are sure to create a delicious cake that everyone will love. Remember to use quality ingredients, make the streusel topping in advance, use the right type of flour, use room temperature ingredients, grease the pan, mix the streusel gently, do not overmix the batter, add almonds to the batter, bake the cake at the right temperature, and let the cake cool before serving. These tips will help you to achieve the perfect almond streusel cake that is sure to impress.
