Meeting Street Cake

Here’s another favorite recipe that I found in one my Aunt’s cookbook. There’s a bunch of good stuff in those cookbooks y’all. It’s called Meeting Street Cake in her cookbook, but you may know it by another name. It’s similar to a cobbler, a buckle or even a Dump Cake.

This cake is simple to assemble and versatile too. Use any berry or berry combination, peaches, nectarines, plum, pluots or other stone fruit. This summer I’ve made it with nectarines, peaches and blueberries, separately of course. But now that I think about it, peaches and blueberries would go together fabulously in this cake.

A few simple ingredients are needed for this Meeting Street Cake: butter, sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, fruit filling of choice (homemade or can of pie filling).

And oh, almost forgot, milk. Don’t forget the milk.

Let me mention here that for the fruit filling I use this recipe for Fried Nectarines and just substitute whatever fruit I choose. Of course you can use canned pie filling too instead.

Begin by preparing the fruit, or opening a can. Again, here’s a step by step photo tutorial on making the fruit filling.

While the fruit is cooking (if you’re preparing from fresh fruit), preheat oven to 350°F, and melt 1/2 cup of butter in the bottom of your baking dish in microwave or oven.

Next, in a mixing bowl, add the flour and baking powder.

Then the salt.

Granulated sugar is next.

Mix all dry ingredients together well.

Finally the milk.

Combine well but don’t over mix. A few bumps and lumps are okay.

Pour the mixture over the butter. Don’t mix. Just leave it alone.

When the fruit filling is ready, top the batter mixture with the fruit. Don’t mix that either. No mixing! None. Nada.

You’re done now, except for the baking, and the eating, and the “ooohing and ahhing.” Bake in a 350°F oven 40-45 minutes until top is slightly browned.

Can you smell it?

It’s mighty good all by itself but with a little vanilla ice cream or whipped cream?

Oh dear…

Enjoy!
