657.0. "Blueberry Cake" by FXADM::COOPER () Wed Jul 22 1987 11:49

    It's blueberry picking time.  Saturday I picked 11 pounds of 
    blueberries.  Does anyone have any good recipes for blueberry pie,
    or cakes.
    
    Thanks in advance.

657.2Make pies! Yum!!CADSYS::RICHARDSONWed Jul 22 1987 14:065
    Yumm!  I like blueberries, too (not nearly as much as I like
    raspberries, though!).  Make blueberry pies, if you have the freezer
    space for them, and have one after your Thanksgiving turkey.  Blueberry
    pies are really good with just a little bit of cinnamon in the filling
    (some people like a bit of lemon peel, too).

    I haven't tried it, but it looks like you could easily modify this
    recipe to use blueberries. If you try it, please let us know how
    it works out. 
657.6Juanita Roberts' Blueberry CakeFDCV03::PARENTThu Jul 23 1987 10:3029
    1-1/2 Cups Sugar
    1 Egg
    1 Cup Butter, Softened
    3 Cups Flour
    1 Tsp. Baking Soda
    1/2 Tsp. Salt
    1 Tsp. Vanilla
    1 Cup Sour Milk**
    1 Cup Wild Blueberries or 1-1/2 Cup Cultivated
    
    ** Add 1 Tbs. Cider Vinegar to 1 Cup Fresh Milk or use Buttermilk.
    
    Cream sugar, egg and butter together until fluffy.  Sift the flour,
    baking soda and salt together and gradually beat into the butter
    mixture along with the vanilla and milk.  Beat cake batter until
    smooth.  Stir in the berries.
    
    Pour batter into a greased 9 by 13-inch cake pan.
    
    Bake in 350 degree oven for 45-50 minutes.
    
    Serves 8-10
    
    Note:  I used 1 stick each butter and margarine and found this VERY
           rich.  Next time I may try using 1 stick butter and 1/2 cup
           shortening.  Also used more berries than specified.)
    
    Enjoy!

657.8Bluberry Topsy Turvy CakeLEDS::BLODGETTTue Aug 04 1987 09:5725
    
    Here's a recipe for a bluberry upside-down cake:
    
    Blueberry Topsy-Turvy Cake  
    
    Topping:
    Melt 1/4 c. butter in an 8" round cake pan. Add 1/4 c. each white
    sugar and brown sugar, stir well and remove from heat. Cool 5 min.
    Spread 1/2-1 c. blueberries over mixture, squeeze the juice of 1
    lemon over berries. Set aside while making cake batter.
    
    Sift together: 1 1/3 c. flour, 2 tsp. bakig powder, 1/2 tsp each
    cinnamon and nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
    Cream 1/4 c. butter. Add 3/4 c. sugar and dry ingredients. Then
    add 1 egg, 1/2 c. milk, and 2 tsp. vanilla. Stir until blended.
    DO NOT OVERBEAT. Pour cake batter over topping in pan and bake 
    at 350 for 40-50 mins. cool in pan 5 min. then turn out onto a
    plate. Serve warm with either vanilla ice cream or unsweetened
    whipped cream.
    
    Note: This is a sweet cake, the amounts of sugar in the topping
    may be altered. I haven't tried changing the amount in the cake,
    but I'm sure it can be done.

    re .8
    
    Another thing about this recipe: to make the cake a little richer
    instead of 1/2 c. milk use 1/4 c. milk and 1/4 c. sour cream
