Sour Cherry Crumb Cakes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch square baking dish, and dust with flour, tapping out excess.
• Make the topping: Stir together butter, flour, sugars, salt, and cinnamon.
• Make the cakes: Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. With a mixer, cream butter and granulated sugar in another bowl until pale and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Working in alternating batches, add flour mixture and buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat until just combined. Pour into prepared dish, and smooth with an offset spatula. Dot top with cherries, and sprinkle with crumb topping.
• Bake until golden and a tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool before cutting.

Steps:

• Crust: Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter an 8-inch square cake pan. Line with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides; butter parchment.
• Beat butter with sugar on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes, scraping down bowl as needed. Reduce speed to medium-low, add flour and salt, and beat until dough forms clumps but does not completely hold together. Press 2 1/2 cups flour mixture into bottom and 1 inch up sides of prepared pan.
• Filling: In a medium bowl, stir together cherries, sugar, flour, lemon juice, and salt. Pour into crust. Crumble remaining flour mixture (about 1/2 cup) evenly over top, squeezing to create clumps.
• Bake until bubbling in center and crust is golden, about 1 hour, 10 minutes (if browning too quickly, tent top with foil). Transfer to a wire rack and let cool at least 20 minutes before slicing into squares.

Steps:

• Almond Crumble
• Blend all of the ingredients together in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until the mixture becomes crumbly. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Cherry Filling
• Preheat the oven to 325°F. In a large bowl, mix together all of the ingredients except the butter using a rubber spatula. Transfer the cherry mixture to a 10 by 7-inch baking dish. Dot the top of the mixture with the butter. Cover with the almond crumble and bake until golden brown and bubbly, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Whipped Ricotta
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the ricotta with the lemon juice, vanilla, and salt until light and smooth. Serve alongside the warm crumble.

Steps:

• For the topping stir together butter, flour, sugar, sea salt, and cinnamon. Mix using your hands or a wooden spoon until medium to large clumps form. Set aside.
• For the cake whisk together flour, baking powder, and sea salt in a bowl.
• With a mixer, cream butter and sugar in another bowl until pale and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
• Working in alternating batches, add flour mixture and buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat until just combined.
• Pour into a 23 cm square baking dish lined with parchment paper, and smooth with a spatula. Top with cherries, and sprinkle with crumb topping.
• Bake in the oven at 180°C for 1 hour until golden and a tester inserted into center comes out clean. Let cool before cutting.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter the base of a deep 20cm loose-bottomed cake tin and line with baking parchment.
• To make the crumble topping, put the flour and butter in a bowl and rub together with your fingertips until you have a coarse, crumbly texture. Stir through the sugar, then transfer to the fridge.
• Beat the butter and sugar with an electric whisk for 5 mins until light and fluffy. Gradually whisk in the eggs, beating well after each addition. Fold in the flour, baking powder, ground almonds and soured cream, then most of the cherries, reserving a handful to garnish. Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and smooth over the top with a spatula. Dot with the reserved cherries, then bake in the centre of the oven for 30 mins.
• Scatter over the crumble topping, then return the cake to the oven and bake for a further 30-50 mins until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin.
• Slice the cake into thick wedges and serve with custard or ice cream, if you like. Store in a tin or airtight container for up to three days.
