Apricot-Raspberry Buckle

Scott Phillips

Servings:eight to ten.

A buckle is a kind of crumb cake, usually topped with fruit and a streusel topping. This version features a rich yellow cake batter with fresh apricots and raspberries, both in the cake and on top. The name most likely refers to the fact that the streusel sinks (or buckles) into the cake at irregular intervals.

  • 1-1/2 oz. (1/3 cup minus 1 tablespoon) unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 oz. (1/4 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

For the cake:

  • 6 oz. (1-1/3 cups) unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. table salt
  • 6 oz. (12 Tbs.) unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1-1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp. pure almond extract

Preparation

  • Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and heat the oven to 375°F. Butter a 9-inch square baking pan.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold butter and cut it in with a pastry blender or two table knives until the butter pieces resemble small peas. Refrigerate until needed.
  • 筛入面粉、泡打粉和盐成弓l and set aside. With an electric stand mixer (a hand mixer is fine, too), beat the butter with the paddle attachment on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add 1/4 cup of the sugar and the vanilla and almond extracts. Beat 1 minute on medium speed. Gradually add the remaining 3/4 cup sugar while beating on medium speed. Turn off the mixer and use a rubber spatula to scrape the bowl and beater. Beat on medium-high speed until pale and slightly fluffy (the sugar will not be dissolved), about 3 minutes. Reduce the speed to medium and add the eggs, one at a time, mixing until the batter is smooth each time. Stop and scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl and the beater. On low speed, add the flour mixture and beat only until incorporated. Remove the bowl from the mixer and scrape the beater. The batter will be thick.
  • Add half of the apricots and half of the raspberries to the batter and fold them in gently with a large rubber spatula. Some of the raspberries will break, giving the batter an attractive pinkish cast. (When baked, the pink will disappear.) Spread the batter into the prepared pan and distribute the remaining fruit evenly on top.
  • Sprinkle the streusel over the fruit. Bake until the cake springs back in the center when lightly pressed and a toothpick comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Let the cake cool in its pan on a rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

    I did all kinds of wacky things to this recipe and it (still) came out delicious! I was looking for a peach-raspberry buckle, so I used this recipe but substituted thawed frozen peaches for the apricots. I wanted to try using brown sugar rather than regular in the streusel and that was a little weird but just fine. Next time I'd do it with white sugar because the cake is not so pretty with brown. I added a teaspoon of orange zest when I put in the vanilla and almond, and that added a really wonderful depth to the flavor, I thought. Also did not have a 9" pan and used a eight inch pan. That made it take a little longer to cook but it came out very , very moist and delicious. Tomorrow I'll eat with with whipped cream. I will definitely make this again.

    I just made this recipe and it was absolutely fabulous! I don't understand how others can have such opposite results. Give it a try. Follow the instructions. It's killer!!!! Moist, very very flavorful.

    I have made this twice, in an oven with recently calibrated temperature. Both times I have found the cake to be dry and lacking in flavor, and both time I only cooked the cake 40 minutes. The overall dish is yummy because of all the fruit juices, but the cake part of the dish is nothing special.

    Used blueberries instead, it didn't survive the hour it came out of the oven! It was delicious, have made this a few times now and it always pleases.
