BLUEBERRY BATTER CAKE

By lisapearce

Ingredients

• 2 c. blueberries
• Juice of 1/2 lemon (optional)
• 3/4 c. sugar
• 3 tbsp. butter
• 1 c. sifted flour
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/2 c. milk
• 1 c. sugar
• 1 tbsp. cornstarch
• 1 c. boiling water

Preparation

Step 1

Line an 8x12 inch pan with berries. Sprinkle lemon juice over berries. Cream together 3/4 cup sugar and butter with an electric mixer. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add milk alternately with flour mixture to creamed sugar and butter a little at a time to make the batter. Pour batter over berries.

Combine 1 cup sugar and cornstarch and sprinkle over batter. Then pour boiling water over whole cake. Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 1 hour. Serve warm!

Note: This batter barely covers the berries. When the water is poured over batter and berries, the whole thing looks like a complete mess! Don't worry - just place cake in oven and bake. This is similar to a fruit cobbler and is delicious served with ice cream or whipped cream on top.
