Best 8 Plum Buckle With Pecan Topping Recipes

PLUM BUCKLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch cake pan with cooking spray. Line the bottom with parchment paper and coat the paper too.
• Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, cardamom (and/or cinnamon) and salt in a medium bowl. Beat butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until well combined. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat until light and fluffy. Add oil and vanilla and beat for 30 seconds. Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed until just combined.
• Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Arrange plums, slightly overlapping, on top, pressing gently to partially submerge them in the batter. Sprinkle turbinado sugar over the top.
• Bake the cake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes.
• Cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes. Run a knife around the edge to loosen it and transfer the cake to a serving plate.

PLUM BUCKLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Place the plums into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. In a large bowl, mash together 2/3 cup butter with 1 1/2 cup of white sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Stir in 3 cups of flour, the baking powder, and salt. Mix in the milk and vanilla extract to make a smooth batter. Pour the batter over the plums. Mix 1 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of butter, 1/4 cup of flour, and cinnamon together in a bowl to make a crumbly topping; spread over the batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350°F and arrange a rack in the middle of the oven.
• Coat an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with butter and set aside.
• For the topping:
• Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, work brown sugar, flour, butter, cinnamon, and salt together until ingredients come together but some pea-size pieces remain. Stir in pecans, cover, and refrigerate until ready to use.
• For the batter:
• Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl until evenly combined; set aside.
• Whisk together milk and vanilla extract in a small bowl until evenly combined; set aside.
• Combine sugar and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium speed until light in color and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
• Add eggs one at a time, letting the first completely incorporate before adding the second.
• Add 1/3 of the flour mixture and mix on low until just combined; scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Pour in 1/2 of the milk mixture and mix on low until just incorporated.
• Repeat, alternately adding dry and wet ingredients and ending with dry ingredients, until completely incorporated.
• Remove bowl from mixer, fold plums in until coated and evenly distributed, and turn into prepared baking dish.
• Sprinkle topping evenly over batter and bake until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown, about 45 to 50 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let cool at least 20 minutes before serving.

BLUEBERRY BUCKLE WITH STREUSSEL TOPPING

Steps:

• In a bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well. Combine 2 cups of flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk. Mix well. Toss berries in remaining flour; fold into batter (discard any flour that doesn't stick to berries). Spread batter in a greased 9-in. square baking pan. For topping, combine flour, sugars and cinnamon; cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over batter. Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.

ALMOND-PLUM BUCKLE

Steps:

• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Spray 9-inch-diameter cake pan with 2-inch-high sides with nonstick spray. Line bottom of pan with parchment paper round.
• Finely grind almonds in processor. Transfer to medium bowl; whisk in flour, baking powder, and salt. Using electric mixer, beat butter in large bowl until fluffy. Add 1 cup sugar; beat until well blended. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla and almond extract, then flour mixture just until incorporated.
• Transfer batter to prepared pan; spread evenly and smooth top with spatula. Gently press plum slices, flesh side down, into batter in spoke pattern around outer rim and center of cake, placing close together. Mix cinnamon and 4 teaspoons sugar in small bowl. Sprinkle over plums.
• Bake cake until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Cool cake in pan on rack 20 minutes. Run small knife between cake and pan sides to loosen. Invert cake onto platter; remove parchment paper. Place another platter atop cake. Using both hands, hold both platters firmly together and invert cake, plum side up. Cool cake completely. Cut into wedges.

UPSIDE-DOWN PLUM-PECAN PIE

Steps:

• Cut 15-inch round from heavy-duty foil. Line 9-inch glass pie plate with foil round, leaving 2 inches overhanging rim of plate. Spread butter over foil lining. Place pecan halves, rounded sides down, on butter. In small bowl, mix brown sugar and corn syrup; drop by small spoonfuls evenly over pecans and foil.
• In medium bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost leaves side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).
• Gather pastry into a ball. Divide in half; shape into 2 flattened rounds on lightly floured surface. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate about 45 minutes or until dough is firm and cold, yet pliable. This allows the shortening to become slightly firm, which helps make the baked pastry more flaky. If refrigerated longer, let pastry soften slightly before rolling.
• Heat oven to 450°F. With floured rolling pin, roll one pastry round into round 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch glass pie plate. Fold pastry into fourths; ease into pie plate over pecans and brown sugar mixture.
• In medium bowl, mix filling ingredients; pour into pastry-lined pie plate. Roll other round of pastry into 12-inch round. Fold into fourths; cut slits so steam can escape. Place over filling and unfold; seal and flute as desired. Turn up overhanging foil to catch juices and to prevent crust from excessive browning. Bake 10 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 375°F. Bake 35 to 40 minutes longer or until crust is brown and juice begins to bubble through slits in crust. Cool 5 minutes. Turn foil away from pastry. Turn pie upside down onto heatproof serving plate; peel off foil. Serve warm.

PLUM STREUSEL COFFEECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. and butter and flour a 9-inch round or square baking pan at least 2 inches deep.
• Make streusel:
• In a food processor pulse together streusel ingredients until combined well and crumbly.
• Make cake batter:
• In a bowl with an electric mixer beat butter with sugar until light and fluffy and add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, and vanilla. Sift in flour with baking powder and salt and beat until just combined.
• Spread cake batter in pan, smoothing top, and arrange plum slices over it in slightly overlapping concentric circles. Sprinkle streusel over plum slices and bake cake in middle of oven 1 hour, or until a tester comes out clean. Coffeecake may be made 1 week ahead: Cool cake completely in pan on a rack and freeze, wrapped well in plastic wrap and foil. Reheat cake, unwrapped but not thawed, in a preheated 350°F. oven until heated through, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool cake slightly on a rack and sift confectioners' sugar over it. Serve coffeecake warm or at room temperature.

PLUM-NECTARINE BUCKLE

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 9-inch square cake pan or 10-inch cast iron skillet with 2 tablespoons butter; set aside. Whisk together flour, 3/4 cup sugar, the baking powder, allspice, and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Whisk together egg, milk, vanilla, and remaining 4 tablespoons butter in another medium bowl. Add egg mixture to flour mixture; stir to combine. Spread batter evenly into buttered pan.
• Toss plums, nectarines, lemon juice, remaining 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Spread fruit mixture evenly over batter. Sprinkle with topping. Bake until a cake tester inserted into center comes out with moist crumbs, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack 1 hour before serving.
