One glance at this and I’m in heaven. It’s basically half cake, half crunchy, crumbly almond-filling topping.

And I’m alllll about the topping.

We already know that I’m THAT person who steals all the crumble topping off of muffins and all the streusel off of cakes and all the potato chips off of cheesy potato casserole and all the pecans off the sweet potatoes at Thanksgiving. Yes, I’m the worst.

And yes, this is why it’s so important that this cake is half and half. Half fluffy, moist cake and half crumbly bits of almond topping.

It’s dreamy!

Let’s just say that I’m a bit of a nut over almond flavored desserts. Pun totally intended.

I absolutely adore all things almond. Especially this time of year since it’s FINALLY fall. It feels like I’ve been waiting forever. Some summers tend to linger longer than others, but this one not one of them for me. I’ve been ready for a month!

I love how almond flavor kind of transitions us from summer to fall. It’s nutty and fragrant and comforting and brings that real punch of taste to treats. I use McCormick Pure Almond Extract constantly – actually, I use it almost every single day. I’ve been putting a drop in my overnight oats (and I also love adding it to my oatmeal lattes – omg!) and I also love adding a ½ teaspoon or so into my smoothies. It’s SO good and makes it taste like legit dessert. And you guys know that I also use it all the time in my pistachio treats too. Really brings out the flavor!

SO it was only natural that almond crumb cake would fit it into my kitchen. It’s like an almond croissant on steroids. Actually, it’s like an almond croissant married a big old coffee cake and had a fluffy, soft and perfect-for-breakfast baby. Almond crumb cake is my new favorite brunch. And breakfast and dessert!

And to make the almond crumb cake even more delicious and fall-like, I threw in some of the McCormick Rum Extract. It’s perfect and almost gives you that whole butterscotch flavor. Like brown butter! Really brings the fall flavors home here!

This is the perfect cake for so many occasions. Ideal for dessert, but it’s also perfect for brunch, breakfast, heck – even a coffee date. It’s a great cake to gift to someone because it really holds up well and it’s so hearty, satisfying and comforting. A slice of this with a cappuccino? It’s all I need in life!

Almond Crumb Cake

Yield: serves 6

Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon oil (olive, vegetable, canola, etc)
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon McCormick Pure Almond Extract
  • ½ teaspoon McCormick Rum Extract
  • 3/4 cup milk

crumb topping

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup loosely packed light brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup sliced almonds
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon McCormick Pure Almond Extract
  • 16 tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9-inch round springform pan.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, oil, egg, extracts and milk. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until the batter comes together and is smooth. Spread it in the spring form pan.

In the same bowl stir together the flour, sugar, almonds, cinnamon and salt. Sprinkle in the extract and melted butter. Mix with a wooden spoon to combine and then use your hands to make sure the entire crumb is moistened and kind of resembles sand. You want all of it to be moistened!

Sprinkle the crumb on top of the batter. If desired, you can add a few extra sliced almonds.

Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until the center is set. Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving. If desired, you can sprinkle with powdered sugar!

A Comforting Braised Pig Feet Recipe Perfect for Your Pressure Cooker

Image
Louiie Victa Chef Jenny Dorsey’s recipe is a testament to the trotter’s versatility When I go grocery shopping, I always look for pig feet. In the sea of unrecognizably standard-looking cuts of animal muscles at grocery stores — disk-shaped loins, round humps of pork butt — trotters are always the anomaly. They look most precisely as they were: feet, hooves, the tired bones and tissue that kept an animal upright its whole life. Unfortunately for pig feet, their look hasn’t exactly made them a popular part of the mainstream American diet. As Cecil Adams wrote back in 2016, one of the challenges in encouraging more Americans to consume offal and organ meat is that “organs resemble, well, body parts: any steak slapped on a plate looks like dinner, while a lovingly presented calf heart may suggest an autopsy.” And, Adams added, there’s the “socioeconomic stigma…that had a racial component too,” which is only exacerbated by “travelogue shows [like] Bizarre Foods .” Despite being mali...

Beyond Impossible: The Sanitarium and World War II Past of Meat Substitutes

Image
Photo by Tom Kelley/Getty Images We’ve come a long way from John Harvey Kellogg’s “protose cutlets” It’s no stretch to say that fake meat is having a moment . With the popularity of brands such as Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat joining fast-food menus and grocery store aisles alike, plant-based meats are no longer seen as a sad option for vegetarians long denied flavor with meat substitutes (though, as we know, plenty of vegetarian food is packed with flavor), but for anyone who enjoys a good burger, fried chicken, or nuggets. But are meat substitutes really the future of eating? Maybe by necessity as food resources run out, but not likely by choice. In fact, despite the big money raked in by Impossible and Beyond over the past few years, industrial meat consumption in America is actually on the rise. This week on Gastropod , Cynthia Graber and Nicola Twilley see how the not-sausage gets made, with visits to the Impossible Meat lab and Meati , a Colorado-based start-up that’...

Without Government Aid, Americans in Need Are Shoplifting Food Essentials

Image
Photo: Niloo /Shutterstock Plus, Colin Kaepernick gets his own Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavor, and more news to start your day More people admit to shoplifting what they need to survive Since the pandemic began, Americans have called for relief for individuals and small businesses. Stimulus checks, rent and mortgage cancelation, and universal health care have all been on the table. But aside from $1,200 months ago, we’ve gotten none of that, and the latest stimulus package is woefully inadequate. So, as the Washington Post reports , more people than ever have resorted to stealing essentials like bread, baby formula, and diapers to survive. Honestly, what did the government expect? WaPo says there’s been a 45 percent increase in the number of Americans facing hunger this year, up to 54 million people. Lines at food banks have been miles long for months, with many saying that mutual aid groups and donations can’t keep up with demand . And with SNAP and WIC programs cut back,...
