Blueberry Bundt Cake Recipe Nyt Recipes

BLUEBERRY, ALMOND AND LEMON CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit/200 degrees Celsius. Grease a 9- or 8-inch/21-centimeter loaf pan with butter, line it with a parchment paper sling and butter the paper. Set the pan aside.
• Place butter, sugar, lemon zest and vanilla extract in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on high speed for 3 to 4 minutes, until light, then lower speed to medium. Add eggs in three additions, scraping down the sides of the bowl a few times as necessary. The mix may split a little but don't worry: It'll come back together once you add the dry ingredients.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and almond flour. With the stand mixer on low, add the dry ingredients in three additions, mixing just until no white specks remain. Fold in about 3/4 of the blueberries by hand, then scoop batter into the prepared loaf pan.
• Bake for 15 minutes, then sprinkle the remaining blueberries over the top of the cake. Return to the oven for another 15 to 20 minutes, until cake is golden brown but still uncooked. Cover loosely with foil and continue to cook for another 25 to 30 minutes (less for a 9-inch pan, more for an 8-inch pan), or until risen and cooked, and a knife inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. Remove from oven and set aside in its pan to cool for 10 minutes before removing cake from pan and placing on a wire rack to cool completely.
• When cake is cool, make the icing: Add lemon juice and icing sugar to a bowl and whisk together until smooth, adding a bit more juice if necessary, just until the icing moves when you tilt the bowl. Pour over the cake and gently spread out. The blueberries on the top of the cake may bleed into the icing a little, but this will add to the look. Let icing set (about 30 minutes), slice and serve.

BLUEBERRY CAKE WITH STREUSEL TOPPING

Steps:

• Place the dry streusel ingredients in the bowl of a food processor. Drop in the butter, and pulse until small crumbs form. (This can also be done in a bowl with a pastry blender.) Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Oil an 8-inch square pan.
• To prepare the cake batter, cream the softened butter in a large mixing bowl. Add the sugar a little at a time, and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the egg, and beat well.
• Sift together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt. Add the vanilla extract to the milk. With the mixer on low speed, add the sifted dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk and vanilla mixture. Next, turn off the mixer, add the blueberries, and stir in by hand.
• Spread the batter evenly in the oiled cake pan. Spoon the streusel topping evenly over the batter, place in the oven, and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of the cake. Let the cake cool for 15 minutes, then cut into squares, and serve warm.

BLUEBERRY BUNDT® CAKE

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
• Place blueberries in a bowl and sprinkle with 1 1/2 tablespoons flour; toss until berries are completely coated. Sift together 3 1/4 cups flour, baking soda, and salt into a separate bowl.
• Combine sugar, softened butter, and lemon zest in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, and lemon extract, beating well after each addition until smooth. Add flour mixture and buttermilk; mix until well combined. Gently fold in floured blueberries and pour batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it out with a spatula.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack.
• While cake is cooling, combine powdered sugar and lemon zest in the bowl of a food processor; process until zest is finely processed and blended with sugar. Add lemon juice, melted butter, and salt and blend until smooth. Apply glaze to the warm cake with a pastry brush. Allow to cool before slicing.

BLUEBERRY CRUMB CAKE

Steps:

• Getting ready: Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8x8-inch pan (Pyrex is great for this) and put it on a lined baking sheet.
• To make the crumbs: Put all the ingredients except the nuts in a food processor and pulse just until the mixture forms clumps and curds and holds together when pressed. Scrape the topping into a bowl, stir in the nuts and press a piece of plastic against the surface. Refrigerate until needed. (Covered well, the crumb mix can be refrigerated for about 3 days.)
• To make the cake batter: Using your fingertips, toss the blueberries and 2 teaspoons of the flour together just to coat the berries; set aside. Whisk together the remaining 2 cups flour, the baking powder, soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
• Working in the bowl of a stand mixer or in another large bowl, rub the sugar and zest together with your fingertips until the sugar is moist and aromatic. Add the butter and, with the paddle or whisk attachment, or with a hand mixer, beat the sugar with the butter at medium speed until light, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one by one, beating for about 1 minute after each addition, then beat in the vanilla extract. Don't be concerned if the batter looks curdled - it will soon smooth out. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour mixture and the buttermilk alternately, the flour in 3 parts, the buttermilk in 2 (begin and end with the dry ingredients). You will have a thick, creamy batter. With a rubber spatula, gently stir in the berries.
• Scrape the batter into the buttered pan and smooth the top gently with the spatula. Pull the crumb mix from the refrigerator and, working with your fingertips, break it into pieces. There's no need to try to get even pieces - these are crumbs and they're supposed to be lumpy and bumpy and every shape and size. Scatter the crumbs over the batter, pressing them down ever so slightly.
• Slide the sheet into the oven and bake 55 to 65 minutes, or until the crumbs are golden and a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Transfer the cake to a rack and cool just until it is warm or until it reaches room temperature.

BLUEBERRY-CINNAMON COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees and set a rack in the center. Spray an 8-by-8-inch square pan with cooking spray and line the pan with a strip of parchment paper that hangs over two sides.
• Make the crumb topping: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, light brown sugar, oats, cinnamon and salt. Add the butter and squish it together with your fingertips until it's evenly moistened, and pebble-size crumbs form.
• Make the cinnamon swirl: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon; set aside.
• Make the cake: In a large bowl, beat the sugar and butter together with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing in one egg completely before adding the next. Add the sour cream, cinnamon, vanilla and salt, and beat to combine.
• Stop the mixer and add the 1 1/2 cups/195 grams flour, the baking powder and baking soda; mix on low speed until just combined. Toss the blueberries with the remaining 1 tablespoon flour, then gently fold them into the batter.
• Assemble the cake: Spoon half the batter into the pan and smooth it to cover the bottom of the pan in an even layer. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the top of the batter. Spoon the remaining cake batter over the top and gently smooth it to cover the cinnamon sugar. Sprinkle the crumb topping over the top.
• Bake the cake for 45 to 55 minutes until puffed and golden, and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store the cake loosely wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days.

BLUEBERRY POPPY SEED BRUNCH CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan. In large bowl, beat 2/3 cup sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add lemon peel and egg; beat 2 minutes at medium speed. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. In medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, poppy seed, baking soda and salt; add to butter mixture alternately with sour cream. Spread batter over bottom and 1 inch up sides of greased and floured pan, making sure batter on sides is 1/4 inch thick.
• In medium bowl, combine all filling ingredients; spoon over batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 55 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Cool slightly. Remove sides of pan.
• In small bowl, combine powdered sugar and enough milk until glaze is of desired drizzling consistency; blend until smooth. Drizzle over top of warm cake. Top with a handful of fresh blueberries, if desired. Serve warm or cool.
