Ingredients
- FOR THE SAUCE:
- 1/4 c butter, softened
- 1/2 c sugar
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 c flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 c milk
- 1 1/2 c fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/4 c butter, softened
- 1/2 c sugar
- 1 large egg yolk, well beaten
- 1/4 c boiling water
- 1 tsp vanilla to taste
Preparation
Step 1
Cream butter and sugar; stir in eggs.
Sift flour and baking powder together. Add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well.
Coat blueberries with small amount of additional flour (to assure even distribution of berries in cake); fold into batter.
Pour into lightly greased 8- or 9-inch square pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Cut into squares. Top with sauce.
NOTE: If you don't have a double boiler, you can use two pans that fit together. Put about 1-2 inches of water in the bigger pot, get it to boil, and then proceed with this recipe.
To prepare sauce:
Cream butter and sugar in top of double boiler.
Blend in egg yolk and boiling water. Cook over hot water until mixture thickens, stirring frequently.
Stir in vanilla. Spoon hot sauce over servings of blueberry cake.
