  • ½ cup, 100 g granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup, 40 g unbleached all purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup, 57 g unsalted butter, softened - 4 tablespoons
  • 1/2 teaspoon, 2 g kosher salt

Coffee Cake

  • ¼ cup, 57 g unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup, 150 g granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • ½ cup, 120 g milk, dairy or alternative
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • ½ cup, 114 g Brown Cow Cream Top Plain Yogurt
  • 2 cups, 240 g unbleached all purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 ½ teaspoons, 12 g baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 cups, 380 g fresh mixed berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries) you can also use frozen, but be sure not to thaw them out first

Vanilla Glaze

  • ½ cup, 50 g powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • pinch of kosher salt
  • 1-1½ teaspoons milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.

    Spray the bottom and sides of a 9" springform pan with nonstick cooking spray. Alternatively, you may use a 9" square baking pan.

Make the Crumb Topping:

  1. In a small bowl, mix together ½ cup of granulated sugar, ⅓ cup all purpose flour, and ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Cut in the ¼ cup of butter with a fork, until crumbly. Set aside in fridge or freezer for 10 minutes.

Make the Berry Buckle batter:

  1. In a large bowl, stir together the softened butter, and granulated sugar until thoroughly creamy. Add the egg, lemon zest, milk, and Brown Cow yogurt then stir until smooth. Add the all purpose flour (except for 2 tablespoons), ground nutmeg, baking powder, and salt, then fold until the dry ingredients are thoroughly combined.

    Mix the remaining 2 tablespoons of all purpose flour into the berries to coat. Then pour the berries into the batter, and very gently fold in. Adding flour to the berries prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the pan.

  2. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan, and use a spatula to smooth out the top.

  3. Sprinkle all of the chilled crumb topping on top of the batter. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted int he center of the cake comes out clean. Cool for about 10 minutes, then remove the springform sides from the pan. If you're use a square baking pan, just leave the cake in the pan.

Make the Glaze:

  1. To a small bowl, add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, kosher salt, and milk. Use a small whisk or fork to mix until smooth and thin enough to pour over the cake. Once the cake has mostly cooled, drizzle the glaze over top. Enjoy!
