Blueberry Butter Cake With Vanilla Ginger Glaze Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Beat butter and sugar together until creamy. Add egg. Mix together flour, salt, baking powder, and spices. Add the dry ingredients alternately with the 1 cup milk, beating well. Coat dry blueberries in about 1/4 cup flour. Add to batter and stir carefully. (Coating the berries prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.)
• 2. Pour into greased and floured Bundt or angel food cake pan. NOTE: The batter will only fill the standard pans about half way, which is fine - do not double this recipe. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes. Allow cake to cool 5 minutes then carefully invert onto serving plate.
• 3. Glaze One: Combine the 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup lemon juice in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until dissolved. Carefully poke holes in warm cake and brush glaze over all surfaces of the cake as it cools.
• 4. Glaze Two: For final glaze, whisk the confectioner's sugar and 3 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice together. Pour over the top just before serving cake and allow it to drizzle down the side.

Steps:

• 1. Cream butter and sugar.
• 2. Stir in eggs.
• 3. Sift flour and baking powder together.
• 4. Add to creamed mixture alternately with milk; beating well.
• 5. Coat blueberries with a small amount of additional flour to assure even distribution of berries in cake (about 1 1/2 Tbsp).
• 6. Fold into batter.
• 7. Lightly greased 8- or 9-inch square pan.
• 8. Pour batter into the pan.
• 9. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
• 10. NOTE: If you don't have a double boiler, you can use two pans that fit together. Put about 1-2 inches of water in the bigger pot, get it to boil, and then proceed with this recipe.
• 11. To prepare sauce: Mix butter and sugar in top of a double boiler.
• 12. Blend in egg yolk and boiling water.
• 13. Stir vigorously while blending the egg yolk in the boiling water so the egg does not cook in the mixture.
• 14. Cook over hot water until mixture thickens, stirring frequently (about 15 minutes on medium heat).
• 15. Stir in vanilla.
• 16. Spoon hot sauce over blueberry cake.
• 17. Cut into squares.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch cake pan or Bunt pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Place the grated ginger in 2 layers of cheesecloth, or in 2 layers of paper towels. Squeeze to extract the juice, and set both the ginger and juice aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda and juiced grated ginger.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the egg with the brown sugar, applesauce, canola oil and vanilla until well combined. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until thoroughly incorporated. Scrape the batter into the prepared cake pan, leveling the top with a spatula. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few crumbs clinging to it, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven. When cool enough to handle, invert the cake onto a wire cooling rack.
• For the glaze, stir together the powdered sugar with the reserved ginger juice. If the glaze is too thick, just add a little water to form a pourable but still thick consistency.
• When the cake is completely cooled, about 1 hour, pour the glaze onto the center and use an offset spatula to help the glaze run down the sides. Sprinkle the edges with the chopped walnuts to garnish.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, whisk 2 1/2 cups flour with baking powder and salt; set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars on high speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until incorporated. Beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to low; add flour mixture in three additions, alternating with two additions of sour cream.
• In a bowl, toss blueberries and zest with remaining teaspoon flour; gently fold into batter. Coat a 12-cup nonstick Bundt pan with cooking spray. Spread batter in prepared pan.
• Bake cake on bottom rack of oven until a toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out clean, 60 to 70 minutes. Cool in pan 20 minutes. Invert onto a rack; cool completely, top side up. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving, if desired.
