This month's Taste of Home magazine Bakeable challenge is Blueberry Kuchen but it's strawberry season here so I made it with those instead. Kuchen roughly translates to "cake" and this version calls for simple ingredients and really lets them shine. First you combine the dry ingredients, flour, sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, nutmeg and salt. Then you add in milk, egg, melted and slightly cooled butter and vanilla. Once it's well combined you spread it in a 13x9 baking dish. Sprinkle the top with strawberries, blueberries or the berry of your choice making sure to get into the corners and distribute them evenly. For the crumb topping, more melted butter, sugar and flour mixed together with a fork until crumbly. I also grated in a bit of the nutmeg since I already had it and the Microplane out. Sprinkle it over the top of the strawberries, again making sure to get into the corners. Mine baked for about 45 mins in the glass baking dish I used. It didn't say...
