Blueberry Buckle
Made blueberry buckle this morning and it came out really good. It's almost a breakfasty-cake sort of thing but I'll probably make it again with a few tweaks.
Recipe in American, sorry to the rest of the world.
Cake Ingredients:
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup shortening
1 large egg
3/4 cup whole milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen) *I used frozen, thawed, patted dry then rolled in flour
Additional shortening and flour to prepare the baking pan
*lemon zest and juice wouldn't go amiss, but I didn't have any at the time
Topping Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar *I would use some demerara sugar on top for flavour and colour and crunch
1/3 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup butter
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and shortening until light and fluffy. Add the egg and mix until blended. Then add the milk and mix again until blended.
3. In a separate bowl, sift together the 2 cups flour, baking powder and salt. Fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture slowly until blended. Fold in the blueberries.
4. Grease and flour a 9×9 or 8×10 pan. Spread the blueberry batter evenly into the prepared pan.
5. To make the topping, combine the sugar, flour, and cinnamon. With a pastry blender or two knives, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over the cake mixture in the pan.
6. Bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes for an 8×10 pan or 45-50 minutes for an 9×9 pan (until cake tester comes out clean). Other size baking pans may be used – just adjust the cooking time accordingly.
7. Serve warm or cold, plain or with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. *Or coffee.
In better news the Black Hyundai is gone. Donated it to the National Kidney Foundation in J's name. Was all great until I had to call them yesterday to set up the pickup with William in the room. "National Kidney Foundation" is a perfectly respectable way to answer a business phone, but it gets bit cringy to donate to the charity of what killed your first love in front of your current husband. William, smartly, didn't say anything. I'm hoping he's forgotten. But anyway, junk car is gone and now I see how badly the driveway needs a pressure wash. Some other day.
Been crappy weather the last few days. Dreary and misty - not even raining just a constant heavy mist. Feels like London. Only slept for a few hours, could use some more. Might take a nap now that it's going on 2300.
