I really liked this dessert. I made “black raspberry” crumb cake instead of blueberry crumb cake, because I had black raspberries in the freezer. I saw pictures of this recipe on a baking blog, and it looked like something Mike would really like. We had Mike’s parents and aunt and uncle over on Friday night to play some games, so I took the opportunity to try out this recipe. Everyone seemed to really like it, so I think it was a success.
It’s really easy to make. You mix together the cake batter, spread it in a 9×13 pan, sprinkle the berries on top of it, then make the crumble topping and sprinkle it on top of the berries. Then you bake the whole thing for about 40 minutes.
When I originally tasted it, I thought it tasted great, but that the cake part was slightly dry. I think I overbaked it slightly, however, so that could be the reason. It didn’t seem to matter since the berries and crumb topping were nice and moist. It wasn’t too sweet, which was nice. And the next day, both Mike and I thought it tasted even better than it had the night before.
I’m definitely planning on making this again next time we have a group of people over. It’s quick, easy, and tastes great.
