A Fruity Dessert

Big question is it a cobbler, crumble (crisp) Betty or a buckle?
It's A Buckle!
The streusel topping on this cake-like dessert sinks a bit in the oven, creating a bucked look hence the name.
Jump start your week and make this fragrant, juicy dessert or coffee cake that uses seasonal fruits; blueberries and peaches. Adding a scoop of ice cream is the piece de resistance 
Recipe adapted from Food Network Magazine Network magazine September 2018
Ingredients:
  • 4 TB. butter, at room temperature
  • 1- 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. Saigon cinnamon, divided or 2 tsp. regular cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. finely grated orange zest
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 cups blueberries, rinsed and patted dry on a paper towel
  • 1 large peach, chopped or 2 small 
Topping
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 TB. packed light brown sugar
  • 3 TB. all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
  • 2 TB. butter, softened
  • Pinch of salt
Directions:
For the topping
In a bowl mix sugars, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, flour , nutmeg and salt. With floured hands work in 2 tablespoons butter until mixture at a crumbly stage.  

For the cake 
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 8-inch square baking dish. Whisk the flour, baking powder, 1/2 tsp. Saigon cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. 
  • Beat the butter, granulated sugar and orange zest in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg until combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually beat in the milk (it may look curdled). Add the flour mixture and beat, scraping down the bowl occasionally, until smooth. (The batter will be thick.)
  • Dice peaches and mix with blueberries. With rubber spatula fold in fruits to batter, Spread batter evenly in prepared baking dish.
  • Sprinkle cake batter with topping mixture. Bake until the top is golden and set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool 15 minutes and serve warm with ice cream.
