Makes 1 9x13 pan
Ingredients:
DRY: |
3 cups | 750 mL | white flour |
1 cup | 250 mL | white sugar |
1 tsp | 5 mL | baking soda |
1 tsp | 5 mL | baking powder |
1 tsp | 5 mL | salt |
1 cup | 250 mL | butter |
WET: |
1 cup | 250 mL | buttermilk or equivilent |
2 | 2 mL | eggs |
1 tsp | 5 mL | vanilla extract |
Filling: |
3 cupss | 750 mL | grape filling |
TOPPING: |
3/4 cup | 180 mL | white sugar |
1/2 cup | 125 mL | white flour |
1/4 cup | 60 mL | butter |
1 tsp | 5 mL | cinnamon |
Cake:
- Mix the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium-sized bowl.
- Cut the butter into small pieces. The smaller the pieces you cut it into, the easier the next step will be.
- Cut the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender. Keep doing this until the butter is the size of fine crumbs.
- Separately, mix together the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla.
- Add the dry ingrediants into the wet ingrediants and mix well.
Topping:
- Mix the sugar and flour.
- Cut the butter into small pieces. The smaller the pieces you cut it into, the easier the next step will be.
- Cut the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender. Keep doing this until the butter is the size of fine crumbs.
Assembly and Cooking:
- Grease the 9x13 pan.
- Pour half the batter into the pan and spread it out evenly.
- Pour the filling over the batter and spread it out evenly.
- Spoon the rest of the batter onto the filling in small mounds. I think it will spread out more evenly when cooking.
- Sprinkle the topping evenly across the cake.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 60 minutes. Check that the middle of the cake is fully cooked when you take it out. If not, put it back in for longer.
Notes:
- You can use other fillings in place of grape. Nanking cherries work well (pictured). So do peaches and plums.
