Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a 9 inch spring-form cake pan by greasing it with butter. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, using a hand-held mixer, beat together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes.)
- Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Beat into the sugar and butter mixture until just incorporated. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add this mixture to the wet ingredients and beat until just mixed together.
- Add the red currants and fold into the batter with a rubber spatula.
- Pour into prepared spring-form cake pan and set aside.
- Add all ingredients (with the exception of the red currants) to a bowl and mix together with your hands, pressing the butter into the other ingredients until a crumbly mixture has formed.
- Loosely crumble this mixture over the cake.
- Top with the remaining 1/4 cup red currants. (Optional)
- Bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Once you remove the cake from the oven, it is very important to leave the cake in the pan. Place the pan onto a wire cooling rack. Leave the cake to cool for 30 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan and allow to fully cool before serving.

RED CURRANT PIE (OR IS IT CAKE?)
While visiting my daughter in Germany, we were given a basketful of fresh red currants, a sweet-tart berry, and tried this recipe on a whim. It was wonderful! The currants kept their fresh flavor and the pie/cake was a perfect base. Back home, I'm going to try the same recipe with fresh strawberries, then fresh blueberries, then fresh raspberries...

RED CURRANT AND RASPBERRY PIE
Fresh currants are one of summer's overlooked treasures. They are just as adaptable to baking as other more common berries, such as blueberries and raspberries. In fact, naturally tart currants are often paired with those sweeter berries for a perfect balance of flavors. Here, red currants and raspberries are tossed together and baked in a double-crust pie liberally sprinkled with sanding sugar. It's exactly the type of dessert you want to make-and eat-after a visit to a farmers' market or roadside fruit stand in high summer.
