This delicious crumble cake recipe is made with sweet, fruity red currant jam (with 70% fruit!) and encapsulated in a spelt and almond crumble. It\u2019s just lightly sweet which makes it the perfect morning cake that can be served with brunch.<\/p>\n

With Mother’s Day just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about how you can pamper and spoil the most important woman in your life. Whether they are actual mom\u2019s, step mom\u2019s, dog mums, cat mums, budgie mums or any other kind of mum. It\u2019s an occasion where we can plan a special breakfast or brunch.
\n\"Jam<\/a>
\nAnd today at my side is delicious GL\u00dcCK jam from the private jam producer Friedrich G\u00f6bber. A jam that can happily say is made with primarily fresh fruit. Something that gives it that delicious homemade taste. This is exactly what I always look for when choosing a jam. With a fruit content of 70% you know that sugar content is kept to a minimum, which results in a 100% better taste. Making GL\u00dcCK jam a great choice for anything from a simple pancake<\/a> or waffle topping, spread for scones<\/a>, filling for cookies<\/a>, to the ultimate grilled cheese.<\/p>\n

An added bonus is that with these particular jam, is that that GL\u00dcCK jars so pretty, you simply cannot avoid wanting to upcycle them.<\/p>\n

Tips to making the best ever jam crumble cake:<\/h2>\n

Use a quality jam:<\/strong> This goes without saying. With jam being the only ingredient in the filling, it\u2019s important to use a high quality, great-tasting jam. My absolute favourite is GL\u00dcCK red currant, especially since there are actual whole berries in it. But I am also a big fan of apricot and rhubarb jam.<\/p>\n

Chill your dough:<\/strong> The dough for the crust and crumble need to be chilled before preparing the tart base AND before baking. Yes, twice. Fat softens as it is incorporated into the almonds and flour, so it needs to be chilled to let the butter firm up and prevent the pastry from becoming greasy, and so that the crust hold up and the crumble topping doesn\u2019t spread too much. Also, chilling relaxes the gluten in the flour which makes for a better overall texture.<\/p>\n

Let your tart set:<\/strong> This is probably the hardest part! But it\u2019s also an essential step when baking with jam. The cake needs time to rest so that the jam can properly set. This takes at least 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

Then, all that\u2019s left is to serve and dig in!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also customizable. If you don\u2019t have almond meal, sub hazelnuts or try a mix of both. And you can choose your favourite fruit jam flavor for the filling.<\/p>\n

This Jam Crumble Cake makes the perfect dessert to serve at Mother\u2019s Day or Easter brunch, or as a delicious treat for afternoon tea or dinner parties. It\u2019s delicious on its own, but it would pair perfectly with some vanilla ice cream.<\/p>\n
