Triple Berry Coffee Cake Food

TRIPLE BERRY COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9x13 pan with nonstick spray.
• Combine all the topping ingredients in a bowl. Use a fork or pastry blender to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until it looks like coarse crumbs. Use your hands to clump the mixture into bigger pieces. Set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, sift together the dry ingredients. Create a hole in the center and add the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Beat lightly until a batter forms. Do not over beat.
• Spread the batter in the prepared pan. Add the berries to the top of the batter. Sprinkle the topping over the berries. Bake for 45 minutes. Cool.
• Stir together the powdered sugar and milk. Drizzle over the top of the cooled coffee cake.

TRIPLE BERRY BUCKLE

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 10-inch cast-iron skillet.
• For the cake batter: Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl until combined. Beat the butter, granulated sugar and lemon zest in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg until combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually beat in the milk (it's okay if the mixture looks curdled). Add the flour mixture and beat, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally with a rubber spatula, until smooth, about 1 minute. Stir in the mixed berries until evenly distributed, then spread the batter into the prepared cast iron skillet; set aside.
• For the crumb topping: Stir together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, nutmeg, ginger and salt in a small bowl until combined. Work in the butter with your fingers until the entire mixture is moistened and clumpy. Scatter evenly over the batter.
• Bake until the top is golden and set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Transfer the skillet to a wire rack and let cool at least 30 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature with ice cream.

VERY BERRY COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Spread solid shortening on bottom and sides of a 9-inch square pan.
• Position oven rack in center of oven and preheat to 350 degrees.
• Sift together flour, baking powder and salt.
• Set aside.
• Cream butter and sugar with electric mixer.
• Add eggs one at a time and beat until fluffy.
• Add vanilla and sour cream and mix well.
• Alternately, add flour mixture and milk to batter, beginning and ending with flour.
• Spread half the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
• Spread berries (well drained) on top of batter.
• Cover berries with remaining batter and spread the top evenly with a spatula (some berries will show through).
• For Crumb Topping: Combine all ingredients and pinch them with fingertips to make crumbs.
• Spread on top of cake and bake for 30 to 35 minutes (metal pan) or longer if glass pan- or until a toothpick comes out clean and cake is golden brown.
• Cool cake completely (in pan) on wire rack.
• Refrigerate overnight and cut into squares.
• Serve at room temperature.

TRIPLE BERRY SPOON CAKE

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch round or square cake pan or 2-quart baking dish with butter.
• Toss the berries, cornstarch and 1/4 cup of the brown sugar in a medium bowl until thoroughly combined. Let the mixture sit at room temperature, stirring every couple minutes, until the berries soften and release some of their juices, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the butter, milk, vanilla, egg, lemon zest and remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar in a large bowl until smooth and combined. Whisk in the flour, baking powder and salt until just combined and a thick batter forms.
• Transfer to the prepared pan and smooth the top into an even layer. Spoon the berries and their juices over the top of the batter, then sprinkle with the turbinado sugar (more so along the edges of the pan and on the batter peeking through).
• Bake on the center rack until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes, then spoon into bowls and serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
