Berry Crumb Cake

Something that makes my life a little easier is to take a recipe that I love, and alter it just a bit, and get something entirely new.  This Berry Crumb Cake is based off of my New York Crumb Cake recipe, but it is totally different with the addition of berries.  I used a mixture of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries in this one, but you could use peaches, plums, apricots, anything that you have around.  Something old is new again.

2 Tablespoons canola oil
4 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups mixed berries
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 sticks butter, melted and cooled
confectioners’ sugar

Whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.  Set aside.  Whisk together the egg, milk, oil and vanilla.  Mix together until the batter comes together.  Spray a 9×13 pan with cooking spray.  Spread the batter evenly in the pan.  Cover the batter with the 2 cups of berries.

Add the remaining 2 1/2 cups flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon to a bowl.  Add the butter and mix until it forms large crumbs.

Sprinkle the crumbs evenly over the batter.

Bake in a 325 degree oven for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.  Rotate the pan at least once during baking.  When the cake has cooled, dust confectioners’ sugar on top.
