The Most Delicious Glazed Blueberry Cake image

This one came from a local newspaper during a local blueberry festival several years ago. The first glaze soaks into the cake and the second is lke a frosting. Yum!

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 17

CAKE:
1/3 c butter
1 c sugar
1 egg
1 c milk
2 1/2 c cake flour (or all purpose flour)
1/2 tsp salt
4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp each nutmeg and cloves
2 c fresh blueberries plus a bit more flour for coating berries
GLAZE ONE:
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c lemon juice
GLAZE TWO:
2 c powdered sugar
3 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice

Steps:

  • 1. Beat butter and sugar together until creamy. Add egg. Mix together flour, salt, baking powder, and spices. Add the dry ingredients alternately with the 1 cup milk, beating well. Coat dry blueberries in about 1/4 cup flour. Add to batter and stir carefully. (Coating the berries prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.)
  • 2. Pour into greased and floured Bundt or angel food cake pan. NOTE: The batter will only fill the standard pans about half way, which is fine - do not double this recipe. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes. Allow cake to cool 5 minutes then carefully invert onto serving plate.
  • 3. Glaze One: Combine the 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup lemon juice in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until dissolved. Carefully poke holes in warm cake and brush glaze over all surfaces of the cake as it cools.
  • 4. Glaze Two: For final glaze, whisk the confectioner's sugar and 3 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice together. Pour over the top just before serving cake and allow it to drizzle down the side.
