Equipment

  • 1 10 inch round cake pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Stand mixer or hand held mixer
  • Rubber spatula

Ingredients

For the cake

  • ¾ cup sugar
  • cup butter, softened unsalted
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp grated orange zest
  • cups flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup orange juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • cups mixed berries we used a combination of raspberries and strawberres

For the topping

  • cup + 1 tbsp butter, softened unsalted
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • cup flour
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • cooking spray to grease pan

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking pan with parchment paper and spray the sides of the cake pan with cooking spray.

For the cake

  • In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the sugar, butter and egg on medium speed for 5 minutes. Add in the grated orange zest.
    ¾ cup sugar, ⅓ cup butter, softened, 1 egg, 1 tbsp grated orange zest
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
    1½ cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp salt
  • With the mixer speed set to low add ½ the flour and then add ½ the orange juice. Mix until well combined and then add the rest of the flour, and the rest of the orange juice. When well combined (you see no more white flour) turn off the mixer.
    ½ cup orange juice
  • Toss your berries with 1 tablespoon of flour to coat. Using a rubber spatula gently fold the berries into the cake batter until evenly incorporated.
    1 tbsp flour, 1½ cups mixed berries
  • Transfer the batter to your prepared cake pan and use the back of a spoon to spread it evenly.

For the topping

  • Using the back of a fork, or your hands (our preferred method), mix together all the ingredients for the topping until combined. Add the streusel topping to the top of your cake batter and try to spread it evenly across the top. All your batter should be covered by the streusel topping.
    ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp butter, softened, ¼ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup white sugar, ⅓ cup flour, ½ tsp cinnamon
  • Bake your buckle in the middle rack of your oven for 40 - 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool for approximately 10 minutes in the pan before turning it out onto a cooling rack.
  • Enjoy!
