Old Fashioned Berry Buckle

Soft and berry filled buckle topped with a crumbly sweet streusel. Ideal as a sweet breakfast coffee cake or serve with ice cream for an easy old fashioned favorite fruit dessert. 

Ingredients:

Streusel topping:

1/2 cup sugar

1/3 cup flour

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/4 cup cold butter

Cake:

2 cups flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp ginger

1/4 cup butter, at room temperature

3/4 cup sugar

1 egg

1/2 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup milk

3 cups berries (blueberries, raspberries, cranberries)

Start by combining the streusel ingredients. Cut the cold butter into the sugar, flour and cinnamon with a pastry blender then set aside.

Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt and ginger together in a medium sized bowl. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together for 1 minute. Add the egg and vanilla. Then, on low speed add 1/3 of the dry mix and 1/3 of the milk, incorporating well. Repeat adding thirds until all mixed in then fold in the berries. I used the three types of berries listed in the ingredients but you can use any one kind of berry or the combination you prefer.

Pour the batter (it's a little thick) into an oiled baking dish. Use either a 9" square or a deep 8" square. Bake at 375°F for 45 minutes if using a 9" OR 60-65 minutes if baking in an 8" deep dish. A cake tester should come out clean.

Cool 30 minutes before serving.

Makes 9 servings.
