Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ¾ cups plus 1 teaspoon white whole wheat flour or regular whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup maple syrup or honey
6 tablespoons melted butter
2 eggs, preferably at room temperature
⅔ cup buttermilk*
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups blueberries, fresh (1 ½ pints) or frozen, divided
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar (also called raw sugar), for sprinkling on top
Optional serving suggestions: Vanilla ice cream, Greek yogurt or whipped cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line the base of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper cut to fit inside. Butter the sides of the pan to prevent the cake from sticking.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 ¾ cups of the flour with the baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Stir them together with a whisk.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the maple syrup and butter and beat together with a whisk. Add the eggs and beat well, then add the buttermilk and vanilla. Mix well. (If the butter solidifies in contact with cold ingredients, gently warm the mixture in the microwave in 30 second bursts, then stir again.)
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix with a big spoon, just until combined (a few lumps are ok). In a small bowl, toss 2 cups of the blueberries with the remaining 1 teaspoon flour (this helps prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom). Gently fold the blueberries into the batter. The mixture will be thick, but don't worry.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Distribute the remaining blueberries on top, focusing them more toward the center of the cake. Sprinkle the top of the blueberries with the turbinado sugar.
  • Bake for 34 to 38 minutes, until the cake is golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (blueberry bits aside). Place the cake on a cooling rack to cool. Before releasing the springform sides, you might need to run a butter knife along the outer edge of the cake to loosen it from the pan.
  • Serve as desired. Store leftover cake covered, at room temperature for 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Or, freeze leftover cake for up to 3 months.

EASY 2-LAYER BLUEBERRY CAKE



Easy 2-Layer Blueberry Cake image

This is a great recipe that is simple and delicious! The base consists of using a box cake mix, so it's easy and saves on time. I did not include the 4 hour refrigeration time in the "prep time". I suggest making the cake before bed and assembling the rest in the morning. I use fresh blueberries, but if they are hard to find, well drained frozen blueberries should taste just as well.

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (18 1/2 ounce) French vanilla cake mix
1 (21 ounce) can blueberry pie filling
2 eggs
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl. (don't worry about the directions on the cake mix box, just follow these directions).
  • Mix very thoroughly with a spoon.
  • Pour into a greased and floured bundt pan.
  • Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes.
  • I usually put a powdered sugar and milk glaze on top.

Tips:

  • Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them before using and drain off any excess liquid.
  • To make sure the cake is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off to pipe the frosting.
  • For a fun and festive touch, decorate the cake with fresh blueberries, sprinkles, or edible flowers.
