Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 240 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 120 milliliters milk
- 200 grams selected fruit (e.g., blueberries, raspberries, diced peaches, or apple slices)
- 50 grams light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 30 grams unsalted butter, chilled and cubed (for topping)
- 30 grams all-purpose flour (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry mixture to ensure a smooth batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle your selected fruit evenly over the top of the batter. Ensure the fruit is distributed throughout for balanced flavor in every bite.
In a small bowl, combine the light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, all-purpose flour (for topping), and chilled butter cubes. Use a fork or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the fruit layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your custom fruit coffee cake with a cup of coffee or tea!
