BLUEBERRY GINGERBREAD



Blueberry Gingerbread image

Great tasting and a definite twist for gingerbread! Not overpowering. When storing, do not cover tightly, the top will become very moist instead of nice and crunchy. Serve plain or with a generous dollop of whipped cream.

GOAT CHEESE CAKE WITH PEACHES AND BLUEBERRIES



Goat Cheese Cake with Peaches and Blueberries image

That tangy quality from the goat cheese translates beautifully to desserts because it helps keep the "sweet factor" in control while taking the "rich factor" to new heights. This cake is a perfect example of that balance. This recipe is inspired by the talented Emily Luchetti, the executive pastry chef at Farallon Restaurant in San Francisco.

Yield serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 pound fresh goat cheese, such as Haystack Mountain Boulder Chevre, at room temperature
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon minced lemon zest (from 1 small lemon)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 large eggs, separated
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 large peaches, peeled, pitted, and cut into 1/4 inch thick slices
1/2 cup blueberries
Confectioners' sugar
Whipped cream or creme fraiche (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch round cake pan and dust it with 1 tablespoon of the sugar.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the cheese with the 3/4 cup sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla. Beat at medium speed until smooth. Beat in the egg yolks, one at a time, incorporating each one completely before adding the next. Turn the mixer to low and add the flour.
  • In another bowl, using clean beater, beat the egg whites until firm. Beat one third of the egg whites into the cheese mixture. Gently fold in the rest of the egg whites. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the cake is a deep golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Do not underbake or you'll have an eggy mess. Cool for 15 minutes on a cooling rack. Remove the cake from the pan and cool completely.
  • In a bowl, mix the peaches and blueberries together with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. (You may need less or more sugar, depending on the sweetness of the fruit.) Set aside.
  • When ready to serve, invert the cake onto a serving plate. Dust with confectioners' sugar, and spoon the fruit on top of the cake, leaving a 1-inch border all the way around. Cut and serve, garnishing each piece with a little whipped cream, if desired.

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

Nonstick vegetable oil spray or unsalted butter (for pan)
2 Tbsp. baking powder
2½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1½ tsp. Morton kosher salt
½ tsp. ground ginger
4½ cups (563 g) all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
½ cup (45 g) plus 2 Tbsp. old-fashioned oats
¼ cup (50 g) plus 4 tsp. sugar
½ cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter
1 Tbsp. finely grated lemon zest
1 large egg
1 cup sour cream (not low-fat)
¾ cup buttermilk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
½ cup blueberry or blackberry jam
2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries, preferably wild
¼ cup chopped candied ginger

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly coat a 13x9" baking pan or dish with nonstick spray. Whisk baking powder, salt, ground ginger, 4½ cups (563 g) all-purpose flour, ½ cup (45 g) oats, and ¼ cup (50 g) sugar in a large bowl to combine. Grate butter into dry ingredients on the large holes of a box grater, then lightly toss to coat. Add lemon zest and toss again. Freeze 10 minutes.
  • Whisk egg, sour cream, buttermilk, and vanilla in a medium bowl to combine. Add all but 1 Tbsp. egg mixture to flour mixture and mix with a fork just until combined. Set remaining egg mixture aside for brushing over biscuits. Knead mixture in bowl with your hands until it roughly comes together.
  • Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat together. Dusting with flour as needed, gently roll out to a 16x12" rectangle.
  • Stir jam and lemon juice together in a small bowl. Spread over half of dough, staying just shy of edges. Scatter berries and candied ginger over. Fold side of dough without toppings up and over filling and gently press to seal. Using a bench scraper or a knife, cut biscuits into 12 portions. Arrange portions as they were cut in prepared pan. Brush with reserved egg mixture and sprinkle top with remaining 2 Tbsp. oats and 4 tsp. sugar.
  • Bake biscuits until puffed and golden, 30-35 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cool 10 minutes before serving.
