sourdough coffee cake

Updated on Oct 19, 2010

I usually just throw this coffee cake together and monkey around with the consistency until it is just right. Sometimes I melt a little cream cheese and put it in and the sugar can be adjusted up or down depending on how sour your starter tastes. I find frozen or dried fruit work a little better but I have used fresh peaches and fresh rhubarb before.

  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 cups fruit (bluberries, blackberries, etc.)

How To Make sourdough coffee cake

  • Step 1
    Stir all the cake ingredients together until well mixed. Add 2 cups of fruit if you so desire. I've used blueberries, peaches, blackberries, raspberries, dried apriocots, dried cranberries, chopped dates and rhubarb. I would up the sugar for raspberry or rhubarb. I usually do a light icing as well for rhubarb.
  • Step 2
    Pour the cake into a well greased 9x13 pan and tap the pan on the counter to help break up any air bubbles
  • Step 3
    For the streusel, mix the dry ingredients together and then cut in the butter using a fork or a pastry blender and sprinkle over the top of the cake.
  • Step 4
    Bake at 375 for 45 minutes and check. It will likely take at least an hour and maybe as much as an hour and 15 minutes depending on your oven.
