how to cook Best Moist Raspberry Crumb Cake?

STEP 1

To start, preheat your oven to 180°C (350⁰F). Take 4 figs and cut them in half lengthwise, while the rest should be cut into cubes.

STEP 2

In a separate bowl, combine flour, ground nuts, baking powder, and salt. Give it a good mix.

TIPS: Feel free to choose your favorite nuts or peanuts, ensuring they are finely ground. You can grind the nuts in a coffee grinder or kitchen chopper. Alternatively, nut flour like almond flour can be used as a substitute for ground nuts.

STEP 3

Now, grab a large bowl and place the softened butter in it. Use a mixer at medium speed to beat the butter until it becomes creamy. Then, add sugar and continue beating until everything is well combined.

TIPS: If your butter is too hard, a few seconds in the microwave can soften it up and make it easier to whip.

TIPS: Instead of using butter, you can opt for good quality margarine. It works just as well! But keep in mind that margarine contains salt. So, you might want to reduce the amount of salt in the recipe. Just a little heads up!

STEP 4

Next, add the eggs to the sugar-butter mixture one at a time, making sure to mix thoroughly after each addition.

STEP 5

Slowly add a portion of the flour mixture into the egg-butter mixture. Then, add yogurt and the remaining flour mixture. Mix everything together at a low speed until you achieve a smooth dough.

STEP 6

Carefully mix in the diced figs and 1/3 of the raspberries into the dough.

TIPS: If you don’t have frozen raspberries, fresh ones can be a fantastic alternative. They’ll add a burst of flavor to your recipe and give it a delightful twist.

STEP 7

In a medium bowl, combine flour and chilled butter. Use a fork to mix the mixture until it becomes crumbly. Add sugar and mix thoroughly. Place the finished topping in the refrigerator to chill.

TIPS: If you prefer an easier method, you can grate chilled butter on a coarse grater and mix it with flour.

TIPS: While this recipe suggests using a cold fork to cut butter, there are other techniques you can explore. Check out my article “How to Grind Butter with Flour: 5 Great Ways” for more tips and tricks.

STEP 8

Grease a 22cm baking tin with butter and sprinkle it with flour. Pour the dough into the prepared tin and use a spatula to smooth the top.

STEP 9

Arrange the fig halves on top of the dough, with the cut side facing up. Place half of the remaining raspberries between the figs.

STEP 10

Evenly spread the cooled crumble topping over the raspberries and figs. Then, arrange the remaining raspberries on top and sprinkle some almond flakes.

STEP 11

Place the tin with the dough in the preheated oven at 180°C (350⁰F) and bake for 1 hour or until it turns golden brown.

STEP 12

Once baked, leave the cake in the tin for 10 minutes to make it easier to remove. Then, take it out of the tin and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

TIPS: Wondering if your cake is ready? Stick a wooden stick or toothpick into the center – if it comes out clean, your cake is done.

STEP 13

After it has cooled, sprinkle some powdered sugar on top of the cake.

STEP 14

Finally, cut Best Moist Raspberry Crumb Cake into equal pieces and serve with tea. Bon appetit!
