Directions
These cute little cakes would be suitable for breakfast, because they are not overly sweet. You could use all-fruit, unsweetened jam if you’re in a pinch, instead of berry coulis or curd, but the cakes are at their best with homemade fruity deliciousness. The whole wheat pastry flour gives them a great, tender texture while remaining subtle enough in taste to let the other important flavors shine through.

Divide the batter evenly among the paper liners, filling them about halfway full. Place 11⁄2 teaspoons of the coulis or curd on top of the batter in each liner. Carefully swirl with the tip of a butter knife, holding the paper liner as you do this. Divide the streusel evenly among the cakes, using a generous 11⁄2 teaspoons for each. Place a large piece of parchment paper under the muffin pan, in case of spillage. Bake for 24 minutes, or until the cakes are golden brown and firm on top. Let cool on a wire rack. |
