BLUEBERRY CORNBREAD WITH MAPLE BUTTERCREAM

Liz Hall shows up at every get-together - dinners, birthday parties, holidays - with a cake. The cornbread competition was no exception: She tweaked a traditional recipe and made it more of a dessert. Her blueberry cornbread cake topped with maple buttercream took first place in the nontraditional category. Now, whenever there's a party, she says, "everyone always asks me to bring the award-winning cornbread."

Time 45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly, plus more for the baking dish
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups yellow cornmeal
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup blueberries
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 1/2 to 3 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons whole milk
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 to 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Make the cornbread: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Whisk the eggs, buttermilk, vanilla and melted butter in a bowl. In another bowl, whisk the cornmeal, flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt.
  • Add the cornmeal mixture to the egg mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until just incorporated. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely before frosting.
  • Make the frosting: Beat the butter in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add 3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar in batches, alternating with the milk; continue beating until smooth. Add the maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and nutmeg to taste. Add the remaining 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar if necessary to reach a spreadable consistency. Spread on the cornbread.

BLUEBERRY BREAKFAST CORNBREAD (COOK'S ILLUSTRATED)



Blueberry Breakfast Cornbread (Cook's Illustrated) image

From the Cook's Illustrated Website: Before preparing the baking dish or any of the other ingredients, measure out the frozen kernels and let them stand at room temperature until needed. When corn is in season, fresh cooked kernels can be substituted for the frozen corn. This recipe was developed with Quaker yellow cornmeal; a stone-ground whole-grain cornmeal will work but will yield a drier and less tender cornbread. We prefer a Pyrex glass baking dish because it yields a nice golden-brown crust, but a metal baking dish (nonstick or traditional) will also work. The cornbread is best served warm; leftovers can be wrapped in foil and reheated in a 350-degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Makes one 8-inch Square

Time 45m

Yield 1 8 x 8 inch pan, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (7 1/2 ounces)
1 cup yellow cornmeal, see note (5 1/2 ounces)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1 cup fresh blueberries (or unthawed frozen)
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed (1 3/4 ounces)
3/4 cup frozen corn, defrosted (3 1/2 ounces)
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 large eggs
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly (1 stick)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position; heat oven to 400 degrees. Spray 8-inch-square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Whisk flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in medium bowl until combined; add blueberries and toss well to coat, set aside.
  • In food processor or blender, process brown sugar, thawed corn kernels, buttermilk, and maple syrup until combined, about 5 seconds. Add eggs and process until well combined (corn lumps will remain), about 5 seconds longer.
  • Using rubber spatula, make well in center of dry ingredients; pour wet ingredients into well. Begin folding dry ingredients into wet, giving mixture only a few turns to barely combine; add melted butter and continue folding until dry ingredients are just moistened. Pour batter into prepared baking dish; smooth surface with rubber spatula. Sprinkle the granulated sugar over batter. Bake until deep golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 25 to 35 minutes. Cool on wire rack 10 minutes; invert cornbread onto wire rack, then turn right side up and continue to cool until warm, about 10 minutes longer. Cut into pieces and serve.
