Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, all-purpose flour, quinoa, cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Mix in the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
- Gradually add the self-raising flour to the batter, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the flour, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the cake batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean and the crumble topping is golden brown.
- If the topping begins to brown too quickly, cover the cake loosely with aluminum foil.
- Allow the cake to cool in the baking dish on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, cut into slices and serve. This cake pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea.
Tips:
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature before starting to make it easier to cream with sugar.
- Gently fold in the blueberries to prevent them from breaking and turning the batter purple.
- Use fresh lemon zest and juice for the best flavor.
- If you don't have self-raising flour, you can make your own by combining plain flour with baking powder and salt.
- For a crunchier topping, you can add chopped nuts such as almonds or walnuts to the crumble mixture.
- Let the cake cool completely before cutting to ensure it holds together well.
Your blueberry crumble cake is now ready to be enjoyed! The combination of a moist, tangy cake with the sweet crumble topping is simply irresistible. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat. This cake is sure to become a favorite in your dessert repertoire.
