ABC - July 2019: Mixed Berry Ginger Crumb Cake

This month's recipe for the ABC bakers is the Mixed Berry Ginger Crumb Cake from The Brown Eyed Baker's blog. I almost didn't bake this because it was like a million degrees in my kitchen (aka 90s F). Then I came up with the following plan:

  • Be done as quickly as possible, so I
    • Skipped the fruit marinade which didn't make sense to me anyway.
    • Skipped the crumb topping because in my experience, the crumb topping is only crunchy and delicious on the day you bake it, and I was going to take it to work the next day.
  • Substitute coarse cornmeal with almond flour because I only had fine cornmeal.
  • Use a different fruit combo so I can save myself a trip to the grocery store.
  • Substitute a mixture of sour cream and plain yogurt for the milk, and adjust the leavening accordingly.
  • Ground ginger and candied ginger are yummy, but I wanted to give it more so I added some ground cardamom to the cake as well.
  • Finally, bake the cake in the toaster oven, which is big enough to hold a 9" x 9" cake pan.
The cake was fragrant, tender and very flavorful. Bon Appetit! :)
