Time 3h30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
2/3 cup whole milk, room temperature
1 1/2 cups Plum Jam, skins removed (1 1/4 cups)

Steps:

  • Topping: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together flour, brown sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Stir in butter until combined.
  • Cake: Brush a 9-by-9-by-2-inch square cake pan (not nonstick) with butter. Line with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides; butter parchment.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. In another bowl, beat butter with granulated sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating to combine after each. Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with 2 additions of milk, beating until combined and scraping down bowl as necessary.
  • Transfer batter to prepared pan. Spread jam evenly over top. Sprinkle evenly with topping, squeezing to create large clumps. Bake until a tester inserted in center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack 20 minutes. Use parchment to lift cake out of pan, then let cool completely on rack before serving.

The crumb topping was a bit dry. I think I'll add a little more butter next time.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out as moist as I would have liked. I think I might have overbaked it.
