Blackberry Buckle Recipes

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.

BLACKBERRY BUCKLE COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven 350 degrees F.
• For the streusel: Whisk the flour, almond flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar and salt together in a medium bowl. Use your fingertips to work the softened butter into the dry ingredients until sandy. Set aside
• For the cake: Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with parchment paper and spray the paper with baking spray.
• Mix the butter, oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon zest, baking powder, salt and vanilla on low speed with an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until combined. Raise the speed to medium and mix until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape the bowl and paddle. Add 1 egg and mix on medium speed for 30 seconds. Add the second egg and mix for another 30 seconds. Add a third of the flour to the bowl and blend on low. Add half the buttermilk, blending on low. Add another third of the flour, then the remaining buttermilk. Scrape the bowl. Add the remaining third flour and mix just until combined.
• Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Scatter half of the blackberries on top and push them into the batter. Sprinkle the streusel over the batter. Scatter the remaining blackberries on top and push them into the crumble just a bit. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs, 45-48 minutes. Cool the cake completely on a wire rack. Remove it from the pan before slicing and serving.
