I love blueberries. Always have. ALways will. Nearly every year we take a family road trip to East Texas and spend the morning picking blueberries at a blueberry farm. We fill basket after basket, pay our money and drive 2 hours back to Dallas to freeze the bounty. This year we couldn’t get out there in time because of Marc’s health..so I am buying frozen..::sniff:: This recipe is from Bon Appetit. It is fool proof, comes out perfect every time and I am making it for Home Group tonight so I will get a picture then. Notice it is SO good that I haven’t even tweaked it. How unusual is that? Altho I must admit, one of these tiems I am going to make it with white chocolate chips.
3 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 2/3 cups sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 cups frozen blueberries Powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour 10-inch-diameter Bundt pan. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat 1 2/3 cups sugar and butter in large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time. Beat in orange peel and vanilla. Beat in dry ingredients in 3 additions alternately with buttermilk in 2 additions. Fold in blueberries. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake until tester inserted near center of cake comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool cake in pan on rack 10 minutes. Turn cake out onto rack and cool completely. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Wrap in plastic and store at room temperature.) Transfer cake to plate, sift powdered sugar over, and serve.


















This cake sounds wonderful. I’m definitely going to have to try it!
I made two of these cakes this weekend . One for my family , one for the ladies at church. the guys shouldn’t have to smell yummy things baking and then not get to have it.I did add the white chocolate chips.
It was gone in no time. 5 ladies asked for the recipe! It was a big hit!. When I got home I noticed the one I left for my guys that stayed home had only one generous slice left. Big hit all around. Yum!
awesome! It really is good..Did you do the sauce?
I didn’t make the sauce. I haven’t had a chance to buy the chipotle.
