Time 1h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup packed brown sugar
½ cup chopped walnuts

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cake:
cooking spray
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 cup yogurt
¾ cup softened butter
2 eggs
⅓ cup milk
4 teaspoons baking powder

3 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Mix together brown sugar, walnuts, pecans, flour, butter, and cinnamon for the topping in a bowl until crumbly; set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®) with cooking spray.

Slowly mix in flour until combined; batter will be thick. Pour 1/2 of the batter into the bottom of the prepared pan. Generously spread 1/2 of the brown sugar-cinnamon topping over top. Top with remaining batter and then remaining topping.

Categories     Breads

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 cake, 12-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour (3 3/4 ounces)
3/4 cup granulated sugar (5 1/4 ounces)
1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed (3 1/2 ounces)
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
1 cup pecans, chopped
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups sour cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (11 1/2 ounces)
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar (8 3/4 ounces)
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened but still cool, cut into 1-inch cubes (1 1/2 sticks)

Steps:

  • Adjust the oven rack to the lowest position and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease the inside of a 10 inch pan.
  • For the Steusel - Place the flour, granulated sugar, 1/4 cup dark brown sugar, and the cinnamon in a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Transfer 1 1/4 cups of the mixture to small bowl and stir in remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar; set aside (this will be the streusel for the inside of the cake). Add the butter and pecans to the remaining dry ingredients in the food processor bowl. Pulse the mixture about 3-4 times until the nuts and butter have been broken down into small pebbly pieces. Set aside. (The streusel with the butter and nuts will be for the top of the cake). If you do not have a food process, you could also do this with a pastry cutter but note it will take a bit more time.
  • For the Cake - In a small bowl, combine the eggs, 1 cup of the sour cream and vanilla and set aside. In the bowl of a standing mixer, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt at low speed, about 30 seconds. Add the butter and remaining 1/2 cup of sour cream and mix at low speed until the dry ingredients are moistened. Increase to medium speed and beat 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Decrease the mixer speed to low and slowly incorporate the egg mixture in 3 additions, beating for 20 seconds after each and scraping the sides of bowl as necessary. Increase speed to medium-high and beat for 1 minute (the batter should increase in volume and become aerated and pale in color).
  • Add 2 cups of the batter to the prepared pan. With an offset metal spatula or rubber spatula, smooth the surface of the batter. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup streusel filling (without butter or nuts). Drop 2 more cups of the batter over the streusel and spread evenly. Then add the remaining streusel filling. Top with remaining batter and then the streusel topping (with the butter and nuts).
  • Bakes until the cake feels firm to the touch and a toothpick comes inserted into the center comes out clean, about 60 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan for about 30 minutes. Then release the clasps of the springform pan and cool completely and serve.

PLUM COFFEE CAKE WITH BROWN SUGAR & CARDAMOM STREUSEL



Plum Coffee Cake with Brown Sugar & Cardamom Streusel image

If you like plums you'll love this. A great recipe from my Fine Cooking Magazine...enjoy!!!

Provided by Doreen Fish

Categories     Other Breakfast

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 c unbleached all-purpose flour (this is for the struesel)
1/4 c packed dark brown sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1 pinch ground cardamom
3 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted; more as needed
FOR THE CAKE
8 Tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces; more softened for the pan
1 1/2 c unbleached all-purpose flour; more for the pan
2 large eggs
1/2 c granulated sugar
1/4 c packed dark or light brown sugar
1/4 c whole milk
1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cardamom
3 firm-ripe medium plums, each pitted and quartered

Steps:

  • 1. # Make the streusel: # Put the flour, sugar, kosher salt, and cardamom in a small mixing bowl and stir the ingredients with a fork until thoroughly combined. Drizzle the melted butter over the mixture and stir with the fork until the mixture resembles a clumpy dough. Using your fingers, break the mixture into pistachio-size clumps and large crumbs. (If the streusel is sandy and won't clump, add a little more melted butter, 1 tsp. at a time.) Refrigerate the streusel while you prepare the cake batter.
  • 2. Make the cake: Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 375°F. Lightly butter and flour an 8x8x2-inch straight-sided cake pan. Beat the eggs lightly in a small mixing bowl. Whisk in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, milk, and vanilla until well blended. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, table salt, and cardamom until well blended. Add the butter pieces to the bowl and cut them into the flour with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles a very coarse meal strewn with pieces of butter the size of small peas and oat flakes. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture. With a wooden spoon, fold and stir the ingredients together until it's a thick batter speckled with visible lumps of butter, 45 seconds to 1 minute. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Break up the streusel mixture with your fingers and sprinkle half of it evenly over the batter. Arrange the plum quarters skin side down on the batter, with each piece at a 45-degree angle to the sides of the pan. Sprinkle the remaining streusel evenly over the cake. Bake the cake for 20 minutes and then rotate the pan. Continue baking until the top of the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it, 15 to 20 minutes more. Cool the cake in its pan on a rack for at least an hour before cutting. Serve warm or at room temperature.

  • Use light brown sugar: Dark brown sugar will give the cake a slightly more molasses-like flavor. However, light brown sugar is a better choice for this recipe because it provides a more delicate flavor that allows the other ingredients to shine through.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter only until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Don't overbake the cake: The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
