Island Buttermilk Cake image

This recipe is adapted from Cranberry Island Kitchen in Portland, Me., which specializes in buttermilk-batter cakes. The bakers there make cakes in the shape of clams, but this recipe calls for loaf pans or rectangular pans. The results - sweet from fresh berries, with an excellent tang - can be served at any time of the day or night.

Time 1h

Yield About 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon butter, for greasing the pans
1 cup vegetable or canola oil
1 and 3/4 cups sugar, plus 2 tablespoons for sprinkling
2 teaspoons nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups sifted flour, plus extra for dusting pans
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 and 1/3 cups buttermilk
1 cup ripe blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and lightly flour two 9-by-5-inch loaf pans or a 9-by-13-inch rectangular pan.
  • In a bowl, mix oil, 1 and 3/4 cups sugar, nutmeg and salt. Sift flour and baking soda together and add to bowl. Mix in buttermilk and pour batter into prepared pans. If using berries, pour in half of batter, sprinkle on berries and pour remaining batter on top.
  • Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons sugar over the surface and bake 30 to 40 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Let cool in the pan.

This recipe is a waste of time. The cake was dry and flavorless.
