The crumble cake with jam and mascarpone is a simple, quick yet irresistible dessert. With its dual texture, the crunchy base of crumbly pastry and the creamy filling of jam and mascarpone will captivate you from the first bite.
The crumble cake is perfect in every season and occasion, ideal for breakfast, as a dessert together with a cup of tea or good coffee.
The recipe is very simple and does not require special skills: you just need to mix the ingredients, crumble the pastry, and fill it with a delicious and soft mascarpone cream and your favorite jam. In fact, you can use any jam you love: strawberries, apricots, cherries or berries, and personalize it with nuts or chocolate chips.

I made the crumbly dough with my robot, the Thermomix, and the process is even faster. If you don’t have the Thermomix, you can also prepare it by hand, crumbling the dough with your fingers in a bowl or use a stand mixer. The final result will still be perfect.
Let’s discover the recipe together!

See you soon, Susy

Prepare the dough for the crumble cake

In the Thermomix bowl, I place the flour and cold butter cut into pieces and set it to speed 5 for 10 minutes. I add the egg, a pinch of salt, sugar, grated lemon zest, and baking powder. I set it for 10 minutes at speed 5, open the lid, collect the dough from the edges with a spatula, and set it to turbo speed for 7 minutes. Our dough is ready. I pour half of the crumbly dough into the pan (preferably with a springform😜), compact it, and put it in the refrigerator along with the remaining dough in the bowl.
In a bowl, I put the flour, baking powder, sugar, butter cut into small pieces, a pinch of salt, the egg, and grated lemon zest. Using my fingertips, I mix quickly and get a crumbly mixture. Our dough is ready.
In a bowl, I mix with a spatula the mascarpone, sugar, the juice of a lemon, and vanilla seeds. I obtain a homogeneous cream.
I remove the pan from the refrigerator, pour the cream, leveling it well with the back of a spoon, and spread the sour cherry jam evenly. Then I cover everything with the remaining dough.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 40 minutes. Remove it from the oven and let it cool well before taking it out of the pan.
Place it on a plate, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and serve😜😋
