TOOLS YOU’LL NEED TO MAKE BOYSENBERRY COFFEE CAKE

• Bundt Cake Pan
• Large mixing bowl
• Cooking rack
• Rubber spatula

INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED TO MAKE BOYSENBERRY COFFEE CAKE

For the Cake:

• 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more, for the pan
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 cups of fresh boysenberries

For the crumb topping:

• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Pinch fine salt
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

HOW TO MAKE BOYSENBERRY COFFEE CAKE

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a non-stick bundt pan.
2. In a small bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, beat together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Add the prepared flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour, beating until just incorporated.
4. Spoon half of the cake batter (it will be very thick) into the prepared bundt pan and smooth with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle the berries on top. Spoon the remaining cake batter on top and smooth the top. Sprinkle on the crumb topping.
5. Bake until the cake and topping are golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about an hour. Let cool in the pan 20 minutes, then invert onto a plate and re-invert onto a rack to cool completely. 

BOYSENBERRY COFFEE CAKE TIPS

• Grease your bundt pan well-It is so disappointing to put effort into making a beautiful cake, to have it fall apart the very last minute. Spend a little extra time making sure that every nook and cranny of the pan is creased so you end up with a beautiful cake.
• Prepare for the double flip!-This recipe requires a double flip. The first from the bundt pan to a plate. Then from the plate to the cooking rack. Make sure to turn the boysenberry coffee cake onto a plate first so that it the delicious crumb topping doesn’t all fall through the grate of a cooking rack.
