BLUEBERRY CRUMB CAKE Makes one 18-by-12-inch coffee cake; serves 16
I first became acquainted with food writer Richard Sax when he critiqued one of my
cookbooks for Chocolatier magazine, and during the last decade of his life, we corre-
sponded regularly. His book Classic Home Desserts (Chapters, 1994) is a must-have
for any serious dessert lover. This exceptionally rich crumb cake is a recipe of
Richard’s that originated at the Rock Hill Bakehouse. Author Michael McLaughlin
borrowed it and added a layer of blueberries under the crumb top. Now I’ve added
even more blueberries and adapted it for the bread machine, which is perfect for this
firm dough that gets refrigerated overnight and is topped and baked the next morning.
There are never enough good recipes designed to serve a group of 16 to 20, so here
you go. Whether for a potluck brunch or your own Sunday family gathering, this fan-
tastic crumb cake is worth the time spent making it. Cut it into squares and serve it out
of the pan while it is still warm.
