Fig Raspberry Crumble Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the long sides.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, ginger, salt, baking soda and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour. Beat on high speed for a few seconds just until smooth. Spread the batter in the baking dish.

Transfer to a rack and let cool completely, at least 1 hour. Remove from the pan and cut into 12 squares.
