Berry Coffee Cake
Description
The Berry Coffee Cake features a batter made from flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, butter, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla. Half of the batter is spread into a baking pan then topped with a generous drizzle or spread of berry sauce. Remaining batter is dolloped over the sauce in mounds. Baking at 350°F for 30 to 40 minutes sets the batter into a soft cake with a light golden hue and tender crumb.
The layering technique creates pockets of fruity berry flavor contrasting with the buttery, slightly tangy cake base. The texture balances moistness from the buttermilk with gentle lift from chemical leaveners, producing a comforting coffee cake ideal for breakfast or dessert.
This coffee cake serves well sliced alongside coffee or tea and can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. The berry sauce adds a fresh fruit note without overwhelming the cake’s subtle sweetness.
Ingredients
- berry sauce
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup butter 1 stick
- 2 egg lightly beaten
- 1 cup buttermilk
- vanilla extract 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl whisk together flour, sugar baking powder and baking soda. Cut in butter until mixture resembles small pebbles. Form a well in the center of the mixture and set aside.
- In a small bow, whisk together eggs, buttermilk and vanilla. Pour liquid egg mixture into the center of the flour mixture. Stir until moistened (batter will be lumpy - let it be!). Put half of the batter into an ungreased 9 x 11 inch baking pan. Drizzle (spread if you would like) berry sauce over batter. Put remaining batter into mounds over the berry sauce. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until lightly golden on top.
