Jordan Marsh Blueberry Cake Recipes

JORDAN MARSH BLUEBERRY MUFFIN CAKE

When I was little, a trip to Boston wasn't complete without stopping at Jordan Marsh Dept Store. Not for the sales, but to go to their bakery for their famous Blueberry Muffins. They were wonderful! The store closed a long time ago and I thought the blueberry muffins from my childhood were lost as well. I found a recipe online...

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray 8x8 or 9x13 pan with cooking spray. If you want to make them into muffins, line the muffin tins with baking cups.
2. Cream butter and sugar on low until fluffy.Beat in eggs one at a time until incorporated. Add vanilla to milk. Mix all dry ingredients together except additional sugar used to top cake/muffins. Alternate adding dry ingredients and wet ingredients till all is mixed. Fold in blueberries. I use fresh when available, but frozen are fine. Just add frozen berries to mix. Spread out in pan and sprinkle additional sugar on top of cake. Bake for 30 minutes if you are making muffins or 45 minutes if you are making the cake. A toothpick should come out clean when done and top will be golden. Cool completely before cutting.
3. If you want to serve as a fancy dessert. Heat up some Blueberry jam with a little water or blueberry wine. Poke holes in the cake and drizzle warned jam mixture over cake. Serve with whipped cream.

JORDAN MARSH STYLE BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

These are delicious especially made with Maine wild blueberries. A very nice, moist muffin. You may substitute butter for some or all of the shortening if you desire.

JORDAN MARSH'S BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

This recipe came to The Times in a 1987 article by Marian Burros, "The Battle of the Blueberry Muffins." Two years prior, Ms. Burros wrote about a recipe for the muffins attributed to the Ritz-Carlton in Boston. The hotel had adapted a recipe used by Gilchrist's, once one of city's best-known department stores. After it ran, a reader wrote in to say that the best blueberry muffins in Boston were not from the Ritz-Carlton, but from the now-closed Jordan Marsh department store. She sent along the recipe, with a description of how she picks wild blueberries: standing in a pond in the August heat and plucking berries from bushes along the bank. This version has a lot more sugar and butter and fewer eggs than the Ritz-Carlton muffins. The recipe also calls for mashing a half cup of berries and adding them to the batter. This produces a very moist muffin, one that will stay fresh longer.

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375.
Cream the butter and 1 1/4 cups sugar until light.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla.
Sift together the flour, salt and baking powder, and add to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk.
Crush 1/2 cup blueberries with a fork, and mix into the batter. Fold in the remaining whole berries.
Line a 12 cup standard muffin tin with cupcake liners, and fill with batter. Sprinkle the 3 teaspoons sugar over the tops of the muffins, and bake at 375 degrees for about 30-35 minutes.
Remove muffins from tin and cool at least 30 minutes. Store, uncovered, or the muffins will be too moist the second day, if they last that long.
