Blueberry Butter Cake With Vanilla Ginger Glaze Recipes

THE MOST DELICIOUS GLAZED BLUEBERRY CAKE

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.

SPICE CAKE WITH GINGER GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch cake pan or Bunt pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Place the grated ginger in 2 layers of cheesecloth, or in 2 layers of paper towels. Squeeze to extract the juice, and set both the ginger and juice aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda and juiced grated ginger.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the egg with the brown sugar, applesauce, canola oil and vanilla until well combined. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until thoroughly incorporated. Scrape the batter into the prepared cake pan, leveling the top with a spatula. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few crumbs clinging to it, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven. When cool enough to handle, invert the cake onto a wire cooling rack.
• For the glaze, stir together the powdered sugar with the reserved ginger juice. If the glaze is too thick, just add a little water to form a pourable but still thick consistency.
• When the cake is completely cooled, about 1 hour, pour the glaze onto the center and use an offset spatula to help the glaze run down the sides. Sprinkle the edges with the chopped walnuts to garnish.

BLUEBERRY BUTTER CAKE WITH VANILLA-GINGER GLAZE

Steps:

• To Make Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour a 10 x 3-inch deep cake pan. Set aside. In a large bowl and using an electric beater, beat together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Scrape down sides of bowl. Mix in the vanilla extract. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, beating for 15 seconds after each egg. Scrape down sides of bowl. In a small mixing bowl, place the 2 cups of flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until well incorporated. In another small bowl, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour with the blueberries by tossing lightly with a fork. Tap any excess flour (not coating blueberries) out of bowl. Alternating with the buttermilk, add the dry ingredients to the butter/sugar mixture, blending well after each addition. Fold in the blueberries carefully. Turn batter into prepared cake pan and level with spatula. Place in preheated oven and bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted into middle of cake comes out clean. Cool the cake for 10 to 15 minutes, then run a knife along the edge to loosen. Flip pan over onto rack, then flip back over (and place on serving plate) so rounded surface is ready for glazing. To Make Glaze: Pour the melted butter into a medium sized mixing bowl. Add sugar, milk, vanilla extract and mix well. Add more milk to reach desired consistency if needed. Blend in the chopped ginger. Coat the cake with the glaze, and serve.
