Cardamom-Crumb Coffee Cake
This recipe from The Simple Art of Eating Well is a snap to throw together and very tasty to boot. If you’re not a fan of cardamom, you can substitute cinnamon. Ingredients: Oatmeal Crumb 6 Tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces 1/2 C packed light brown sugar 1 C old fashioned rolled oats (divided) 1/4 C white whole-wheat flour or whole-wheat pastry flour (I used whole-wheat pastry flour) 1/2 tsp ground cardamom 1/4 C chopped walnuts (optional; DH hates walnuts so I didn’t use) Cake 2 C white whole-wheat flour or whole-wheat pastry flour (I used whole-wheat pastry flour) 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp ground cardamom 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp salt 2 large eggs 1/2 C packed light brown sugar 1 C buttermilk (or 1 C milk + 1 Tbsp lemon juice) 1/4 C canola oil (I used olive oil) 1 tsp vanilla extract Directions: To prepare oatmeal crumb: In a food processor, process butter, 1/2 C brown sugar, 1/2 C oats, 1/4 C flour, and 1/2 tsp cardamom until crumbly. Combine the remaining 1/2 C oats and walnuts with fingers. To prepare cake: Preheat oven to 350F. Sift together dry ingredients; whisk together wet ingredients in a separate bowl; combine gently. Spread half the batter in an 8×8 pan (don’t forget to use cooking spray!), sprinkle 1/2 the topping on it, layer remaining batter on top, then sprinkle the remaining topping on . . .top. Bake for 35-40 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes. The Verdict: The flavor was AWESOME! DH and his brew buddies enjoyed it, although DH thought it was a little dry (duh, it’s coffee cake). I’m thinking that bits of apple or dried figs would be a good addition.
