Ingredients

Cake Batter:

  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract or paste
  • 1 cup sour cream, room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 nectarine, thinly sliced

Almond Streusel Topping:

Instructions

  • Prepare the Streusel and baking pan: Place all the streusel ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and blend until it resembles breadcrumbs. Set aside in the fridge to keep cold until ready to use.
  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and line the base and sides of a 9-inch springform cake pan.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Cream Butter and Sugar: Mix the butter and sugar on medium-high until very light and fluffy in a stand mixer bowl fitted with the paddle attachment.
  • Add Eggs and Vanilla: Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl, then add the eggs and vanilla. Mix for another 30 seconds until just combined.
  • Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the flour mixture and sour cream alternately in three additions, beginning and ending with the flour. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and refrigerate for about 20 minutes to firm up.
  • Add Fruit and Streusel: Arrange the sliced nectarines and blueberries on top of the batter. Sprinkle with about ½ cup of the streusel topping.
  • Bake: Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cake is golden on top, the blueberries have burst, and the top springs back when touched lightly.

Notes

  • Streusel Tip: This streusel recipe is a versatile addition to your baking repertoire. It makes more than required, allowing you to get creative. For an extra crunch, freeze the remaining streusel and sprinkle it on top of cakes, cookies, and fruit crisps.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure the butter, eggs, and sour cream are at room temperature for a smooth and well-mixed batter.
  • Fruit Options: For a different flavor profile, substitute nectarines for peaches or plums and blueberries for raspberries or blackberries.
