Ingredients for Cake
- 2 cups plus 1 Tbs. all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. fine sea salt
- 16 Tbs. (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- Finely grated zest of 1 orange
- 2 large eggs, beaten, at room temperature
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream, at room temperature
- 1 pint of mixed fresh peaches cubes, fresh blackberries and chopped figs
- 2 Tbs. firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
Ingredients for pecan streusel
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 6 Tbs. (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or non-stick baking spray, set aside.
In a medium bowl, sift together the dry ingredients, combine 2 cups flour, the baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside
In a large bowl, using a handheld electric mixer, beat together the butter, granulated sugar and orange zest on high speed until light in color and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Gradually beat in the eggs and then the vanilla extract.
Reduce the mixer to low speed and add the flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with the sour cream and beginning and ending with the flour, beating until smooth. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
In another bowl, combine the blackberries, figs, peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon and the 1 Tbs. flour. Spread half of the cake batter in the prepared pan. Top with the berry mixture, taking care that no berries touch the sides of the pan. Spread the remaining batter over the berry mixture smoothing the top.
To make the crumb topping, in a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar and butter. Using your fingers or a pastry blender work the ingredients together until just combined, then add the pecans. Press the mixture together into a ball and then separate it with your fingers to make large chunks and coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the cake.
