Blueberry Pecan Coffee Cake
- FOR THE COFFEE CAKE:
- 1 cup Plus 1 Tablespoon Flour, divided use
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 3 Tablespoons Butter, Softened
- 3 Tablespoons Canola Oil
- 3/4 cups Sugar
- 2 whole Eggs
- 1/3 cups Milk
- 1 whole Lemon, Zested
- 1-1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1-1/2 cup Blueberries, Fresh Or Frozen
- 3/4 cups Finely Chopped Peeled Apple
- FOR THE CRUMB TOPPING:
- 2 Tablespoons Cold Butter
- 1/4 cups Sugar
- 1 cup Pecans, Chopped
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0F. Line an 8x8 baking pan with foil (make sure the foil hangs over two ends of the pan because you'll use it as a handle to remove the finished cake) and spray with non-stick spray.
- For the cake:
- Whisk 1 cup of flour, baking powder and salt in bowl. Set aside.
- Beat softened butter and oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer until combined evenly and light in color. Add in sugar and beat until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each. Then add milk, lemon zest and vanilla and beat until smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed just until incorporated. Pour batter into lined baking pan.
- Place berries and apple in a small bowl, sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of flour and toss very gently to coat. Sprinkle the fruit over the batter and very gently press into the batter.
- For the crumble topping:
- Combine cold butter and sugar in a bowl. With two knives or a pastry blender, cut them together until the butter is in small pieces and uniform crumbles form. Add pecans and toss until evenly incorporated. Sprinkle the topping over the batter.
- Put pan into the heated oven. Bake the cake until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean and the nuts are a deep brown, 50 to 55 minutes. Remove from oven.
- Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 2 hours. Lift it out of the pan using the edges of the foil and place it onto a cutting board. Cut into 12 servings and serve.
