Dried Cherry Crumb Cake
 

Yield
Makes 16 Servings

Ingredients
For the crumb topping

  • 3 T. unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 3 T. raw sugar cane
  • 1 ½ t. butter

For the cake

  • 1 ½ C. unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 C. raw cane sugar
  • 1 ½ baking powder
  • ¼ t. baking soda
  • 1/8 t. sea salt
  • 1/8 t. ground nutmeg
  • ½ C. dried pitted tart cherries
  • 1 C. fat-free buttermilk
  • 1 t. orange zest, freshly grated
  • 1 T. canola oil
  • 2 T. prune puree or unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 t. pure vanilla extract
  • 2 egg whites

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F. Lightly coat a 9-inch pan with cooking spray and dust with flour; set aside.
Topping
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and sugar. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Set crumb mixture aside.
Cake
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cherries. Stir well and set aside.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the buttermilk, orange zest, oil, prune puree, vanilla, and egg whites; whisk until egg whites are well-beaten. Gradually add the flour mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.
To assemble, pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and sprinkle the crumb mixture over the batter. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan.
