Lemon-flavoured cake batter baked fresh over blueberries makes a perfect
dessert. It was a delectable kind of immersion.
2 cups (500 mL) fresh or frozen unsweetened blueberries
3/4 cup (175 mL) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon (5 mL) grated lemon rind
1/4 cup (60 mL) shortening
1 egg
1 teaspoon (5 mL) vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups (300 mL) all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons (7 mL) baking powder
1/4 teaspoon (1 mL) salt
2/3 cup (150 mL) milk
Whipped or ice cream (optional)
In a buttered 8-inch (20 cm) square baking pan, combine blueberries, 1/4 cup
(50 mL) of the sugar and lemon rind. In a bowl, cream shortening with
remaining 1/2 cup (125 mL) sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. In
another bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Stir in creamed mixture
alternately with milk to make a smooth batter. Spoon over blueberries in a
pan and bake in a preheated 350 degree Farenheit (180 degrees Celsius) for
about 40 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the centre comes out clean.
Let cool slightly, turn out onto serving plate. Cut in squares and serve
warm or at room temperature, with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.
Six to eight servings.
