BEST BLUEBERRY BUCKLE (BLUEBERRY CRUMB CAKE)



Best Blueberry Buckle (Blueberry Crumb Cake) image

This is one of my top five all-time favorites! Adapted from "Cook's Illustrated" this rich coffee cake is unique in that it does not contain milk, does not get soggy, despite the 4 cups of blueberries suspended in batter. Nearly identical to "Einstein Bagel's" Blueberry Crumb Cake. Note: I've made this on vacation several times by hand, creaming the butter with a spoon. Despite the lengthy directions it takes about 10 minutes to put together.

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour (2 1/2 ounces)
1/2 cup light brown sugar (3 1/2 ounces)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch table salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces, softened but still cool (1/2 stick)
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (7 1/2 ounces)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened but still cool (1 1/4 stick)
2/3 cup granulated sugar (about 4 3/4 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs, room temperature
4 cups fresh blueberries, picked over (about 20 ounces)

Steps:

  • For the streusel:.
  • In standing mixer fitted with flat beater, combine flour, sugars, cinnamon, and salt on low speed until well combined and no large brown sugar lumps remain, about 45 seconds.
  • Add butter and mix on low until mixture resembles wet sand and no large butter pieces remain, about 2 1/2 minutes.
  • Transfer streusel to small bowl and set aside.
  • For the cake:.
  • Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position; heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9-inch round cake pan*(I used a shallow rectangle white dish and it cut neat squares) with 2-inch sides with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Whisk flour and baking powder in small bowl to combine; set aside.
  • In standing mixer fitted with flat beater, cream butter, sugar, salt, and lemon zest at medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes; using rubber spatula, scrape down bowl.
  • Beat in vanilla until combined, about 30 seconds.
  • With mixer running at medium speed, add eggs one at a time; beat until partially incorporated, then scrape down bowl and continue to beat until fully incorporated (mixture will appear broken). With mixer running on low speed, gradually add flour mixture; beat until flour is almost fully incorporated, about 20 seconds.
  • Disengage bowl from mixer; stir batter with rubber spatula, scraping bottom and sides of bowl, until no flour pockets remain and batter is homogenous; batter will be very heavy and thick.
  • Using rubber spatula, gently fold in blueberries until evenly distributed.
  • Transfer batter to prepared pan; with rubber spatula, using a pushing motion, spread batter evenly to pan edges and smooth surface.
  • Sprinkle streusel evenly over batter.
  • Bake until deep golden brown and toothpick or wooden skewer inserted into center of cake comes out clean, about 55 minutes.
  • Cool on wire rack 15 to 20 minutes (cake will fall slightly as it cools).
  • ool until just warm or to room temperature, at least 1 hour. Cut into wedges and serve.

BLUEBERRY CRUMB BUCKLE

This is my version of a bakery style blueberry buckle. I especially like this recipe because it has walnuts in the crumb topping on a moist cake which is perfect for breakfast or brunch.
