ORANGE SOUR CREAM CAKE WITH BLUEBERRY COMPOTE
This deeply tender orange cake is the perfect backdrop for a vivid sauce made of blueberries, sugar, lemon juice and cornstarch. The cake and syrup are both quite simple to make (you'll have to pull out your mixer though), and the syrup keeps for several days in the refrigerator. After the cake is long gone, you can enjoy the remainders drizzled over vanilla ice cream or layered with plain yogurt.

Steps:
- To prepare the cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In bowl of a mixer with a paddle attachment, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, orange rind and salt. Cut butter into small pieces and add to bowl. Mix at low speed until crumbly.
- Add 1/4 cup sour cream. Mix at medium speed until smooth and paste-like. Scrape bowl, and add remaining 1/4 cup sour cream and egg yolks. Beat at high speed for 1 minute. Scrape bowl, and add orange extract and vanilla extract. Beat at high speed until light and fluffy, about 1 more minute.
- Butter the bottom and sides of an 8-inch cake pan, and line the bottom with a piece of parchment paper cut to fit. Scrape batter into pan, and smooth with a spatula. Bake until top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, about 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven. Cool.
- To prepare compote: In a medium glass, enameled or other nonreactive saucepan, combine lemon juice, cornstarch and sugar. Mix until smooth. Add blueberries, vanilla extract, elderberry essence and salt. Stir gently to mix. Place over medium-low heat, and simmer just until liquid thickens and blueberries darken in color. Remove from heat, and transfer to a bowl.
- To serve, remove cake from pan. Slice, and serve topped with blueberry compote.

DUTCH BABY WITH BLUEBERRY-ORANGE COMPOTE
Steps:
- For the Dutch baby: Place an ovenproof 12-inch skillet in the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
- In a blender, combine the flour, eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla and salt. Blend on high to make a smooth batter. Let the batter rest while the oven heats up.
- Once the oven is preheated, carefully remove the skillet and add the butter. Let the butter melt and sizzle, then pour in the batter. Return the skillet to the oven.
- Bake the Dutch baby until the edges are puffed and browned and the middle is set, 20 to 25 minutes.
- For the blueberry-orange compote: Meanwhile, zest the orange into a small skillet; squeeze the juice from half of the orange into the skillet. Add the granulated sugar, nutmeg and blueberries. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook, swirling the skillet, until the sauce is thick and syrupy and the berries are beginning to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter. Keep warm.
- Serve the Dutch baby hot, topped with the compote and dusted with confectioners' sugar if desired.
