Australia:

In the past few decades Australia’s wine industry has transformed itself into one of the most technologically advanced in the world. A combination of a generally warm, dry climate and a cultural affinity for creating, rather than following, tradition has resulted in wines that are soft and pleasant to drink from an early age. They are the epitome of user-friendliness. Australia’s wine regions are mainly in the southern, cooler part of the country, clustered mainly in the state of Victoria, the southern part of South Australia and the cooler parts of New South Wales. Syrah, or Shiraz as it is known there, is the top grape, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Riesling, and Semillon. The wines are generally listed with the name of their grape variety, which must constitute at least 85 percent of the wine. Although Australia’s winemaking region is vast, most labels indicate only that their contents come from South Eastern Australia. Flavor is indicated by the variety of grape used to make the wine. Australia’s classification system is generally lax when it comes to quality and labeling. Some bottles indicate a specific state of origin (New South Wales, Victoria, or South Australia), or a region within a state, but these smaller zones are still being decided.

Crumb-Topped Coffee Cake

Rated

Ingredients

2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp freshly grated nutmeg
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground cloves
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly or canola or other high-quality vegetable oil
2 tsp baking powder
1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
2 eggs, at room temperature, lightly beaten
1 cup chopped walnuts or other nuts
2 tbsp granulated sugar mixed with 2 tsp ground cinnamon for sprinkling

Preparation

Position racks so that the cake will bake in the middle of an oven and preheat the oven to 350° F. Grease a 9-inch square pan; do not line or flour it. Set aside.

Place the flour, brown and granulated sugars, nutmeg, salt, and cloves together in a strainer or sifter and sift into a large bowl. Whisk to mix well. Using a spoon, form a well in the middle of the dry ingredients, then pour in the butter or oil and stir, breaking up clumps, until the mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs. Remove 3/4 cup of the mixture to a small bowl and reserve for later use.

Stir the baking powder into the mixture in the large bowl. Add the buttermilk and eggs and beat with an electric mixer at medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute.

Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with a rubber spatula. Evenly distribute the reserved crumb mixture over the top, then scatter the nuts over it and sprinkle with the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Bake until the cake springs back when lightly touched in the center with your fingertip and a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes; if the top begins to brown too quickly during baking, cover loosely with aluminum foil.

Remove the pan to a wire rack to cool for at least 15 minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature directly from the pan.
