Blueberry Cream Cheese Cake Recipes

BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Combine crumbs, 2 tablespoons sugar and butter. Pat mixture into the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan.
• Mash cream cheese until soft and creamy. Gradually beat in sour cream, 3/4 cup sugar, vanilla and flour. Beat in eggs one at a time.
• Pour mixture into crumb-lined pan. Bake in a preheated 325 degree F (165 degrees C) oven for 1 hour or until firm to the touch.
• Cool and then remove cake from pan by loosening edges with a knife. Place frozen blueberries on top of cake. Melt jelly and spoon over blueberries to glaze. Chill until ready to serve.

CREAM CHEESE-FILLED BLUEBERRY CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 355F (if you don't have that fine of control over your oven 350F is fine), spray an 8-inch round springform cake pan with cooking spray, line with a circle of parchment paper, and spray again. I think a 9-inch round cake pan (non-springform) may be used without risking overflow although I haven't tried ; set aside.
• To a large mixing bowl, add the flour, brown sugar, and whisk to combine.
• Add the eggs, butter, milk or cream, vanilla, and mix with a wooden spoon until smooth and combined. You can use a handheld electric mixer to beat the batter together, but if your butter is soft enough, it's not necessary.
• Turn batter out into prepared cake pan; set aside.
• Quickly stir together the cream cheese and granulated sugar with the same wooden spoon is fine (or handheld electric mixer) and evenly dollop "blobs" of the mixture over the surface of the batter, noting it will sink as the cake bakes.
• Evenly sprinkle the blueberries, noting they will sink as well during baking.
• Place the cake pan on top of a baking sheet (nice insurance against possible leaking pan or overflowing in a regular pan) and bake the cake for about 70 minutes, starting to check at about 50-55 minutes. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of the cake, trying to avoid visible cream cheese or blueberry patches. The skewer must come out clean. If there is batter on the toothpick or skewer, leave it in the oven a bit longer and bake until done.**
• Allow the cake to cool, in the pan, on a wire rack, for about 30 minutes before optionally dusting with confectioners' sugar and serving.
• Cake will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 1 week. I am comfortable storing baked goods with cream cheese baked into them airtight at room temp for about 3 days, however if you're not, store in the fridge.

BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 160°C/320°F (140°C fan). Place shelf in middle of oven.
• Line inverted base: Get a 20cm/8" springform cake tin. Turn the base UPSIDE DOWN (Note 4), butter lightly then press on a square piece of parchment/baking paper. Then clip into the springform pan - excess paper will stick out, see photos in post and video.
• Line sides: Butter and line the side of the pan.
• Break up biscuits roughly by hand and place in a food processor.
• Blitz until fine crumbs. Add butter, briefly blitz until dispersed and it resembles wet sand.(Note 5)
• Pour into the prepared cake tin. Use a spatula to roughly spread it out over the base and up the walls.
• Use something with a flat base and vertical edges (I use a measuring cup) to press the crumbs up the wall almost to the top of the sides, and flatten the base.
• Cream cheese: Use a stand mixer (with paddle) or handheld beater to beat the cream cheese until just smooth, no longer than 20 seconds on speed 4. (You do not want to aerate cheesecake filling too much as it causes cracks when it bakes)
• Add flour, beat for 5 seconds on speed 4 until just incorporated.
• Add vanilla, sour cream, sugar and lemon zest. Beat until just combined (10 sec max, speed 4).
• Eggs: Add eggs one at a time - beat for 5 seconds on speed 4 in between each. After the last egg, beat as needed until batter is smooth - but stop beating immediately once smooth.
• Blueberries: Stir in blueberries with a rubber spatula. Pour into prepared crust.
• Bake: Bake for 70 minutes. The top should be a bit puffed, very light golden brown, not cracked, and near perfectly flat. It should jiggle slightly when you gently shake the pan, see video at 1 min 23 sec (sets in next step).
• Cool: Cool the cake in the oven with the door open approx 20 cm / 8" for about 2 hours (Note 6), then refrigerate for 4 hours+ in the pan or overnight. Cake will sink and surface should be flat.
• Release: Remove sides of springform pan. Use overhang paper to slide cheesecake off the cake pan base. Then slide the cheesecake off the paper.
• Place 1 cup of blueberries (125g/4oz), vanilla, sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan. Stir then bring to simmer over medium heat. Simmer for 7 minutes until blueberries breakdown.
• Mix cornflour and water, then stir in - it wil thicken quickly.
• Stir in remainig blueberries. Sauce should be syrupy - remove from stove and cool. Will thicken as it cools.
• Once cool, stir. Adjust thickness 1/2 teaspoon of water at a time to make it the perfect "oozing" consistency (see video, Note 7) - be careful, don't make it runny!
• Spoon onto cheesecake so it's completely covered - you'll have maybe 1/2 cup sauce left, good for touch ups. Refrigerate 2 hours+.
• Slice and serve!

BLUEBERRY SOURED CREAM CAKE WITH CHEESECAKE FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to fan160C/ conventional 180C/gas 4 and butter and line the base of a loose-based 22cm round cake tin with non-stick baking paper or reusable Bake-o-glide.
• Put the butter, sugar, eggs,flour, baking powder and vanilla in a bowl. Beat with a wooden spoon for 2-3 minutes, or with a hand electric beater for 1-2 minutes, until lighter in colour and well mixed. Beat in 4 tbsp soured cream, then stir in half the blueberries with a large spoon.
• Tip the mixture into the tin and spread it level. Bake for 50 minutes until it is risen, feels firm to the touch and springs back when lightly pressed. Cool for 10 minutes, then take out of the tin and peel off the paper or lining. Leave to finish cooling on a wire rack.
• To make the frosting, beat the soft cheese with the icing sugar and the remaining soured cream in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Spread over the top of the cooled cake (don't be impatient as the frosting will melt if the cake is too warm) and scatter with the remaining blueberries. The cake will keep in the fridge for a couple of days. Bring it to room temperature for about an hour before serving.
