Thank you
everyone for your generous compliments and requests to share my recipe for the Blueberry
Pudding Cake. I have to confess that I
didn’t do it alone. In fact, I’m a
newbie to pudding cakes. I was guided by
a recipe by Soon Kim and the Test Kitchen Team published in the August issue of
the Canadian Living magazine. Here is
the recipe and I hope you’ll enjoy making it as I did.
Blueberry
Pudding Cake
|
3 c. blueberries 750 ml 1/3 c. granulated sugar 75 ml |
In greased 8-inch
(2L) glass baking dish, toss blueberries with sugar; set aside. Only had a 9 X 13 (3L) glass pan so 1 ½ times
the quantities. Easier to calculate
with the metric measurements. |
|
Cake Topping |
|
|
¾ c. granulated sugar 175 ml 2 eggs 2 1 tsp. grated lemon rind 5 ml ½ tsp. vanilla 2
ml |
In large bowl, beat
butter with sugar until light. Beat in
eggs, one at a time. Beat in lemon
rind and vanilla. I couldn’t find my beater so had to use a whisk hence the batter was
not smooth or light. J |

|
|
1 ¼ c. flour 300
ml 1 ½ tsp. baking
powder 7 ml ½ c. milk 125
ml |
In separate bowl,
whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.
Add to butter mixture alternately with milk, making 3 additions of
flour mixture and 2 of milk. More or less. Scrape over blueberries, smoothing
top. Covering the berries was more difficult than I thought. Set aside. |

|
|
|
¾ c. water 175
ml ¼ c. lemon juice 50 ml 1/3 c. granulated sugar 75 ml |
In a small saucepan,
bring water, lemon juice and sugar to boil; pour over batter. Not
having made a pudding cake before, this looked really odd. I was sure that I had messed up but had no
time to start over. Luckily, it worked out fine. Bake in centre of
350°F (180°C) oven until bubbly around edges and cake is firm to the touch,
50 to 55 minutes. Since I was running late, I use the convection bake at 350°F for 45 min and added 5 min for the extra
volume. Let cool slightly before serving. |
