Blueberry Buckle Coffee Cake, DELICIOUS!

The other day I wanted to use up some blueberries I had frozen in the freezer.  I thought about making a couple of different recipes but when I looked them up found that I was missing a few of the needed ingredients in my pantry.  So the next best thing was to go to the internet of course and wallah…I found a recipe for a coffee cake that I have never tried or even heard of before.  It turned out to be delicious.  So I thought I would pass it on to you. It might be fun to see how it would turn out in our solar oven sometime.  Always a new experience here at PHF.

BLUEBERRY BUCKLE COFFEE CAKE

CAKE BATTER

3/4 cups sugar                             2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 cups soft butter                    1/2 teaspoon salt

1 egg                                                   2 1/4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (without

1/2 cups milk                                   syrup)

2 cups flour                                      1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

STEP ONE

Rinse blueberries in a colander or sieve in cold water, no soap.  Remove any stems or mushy berries.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

STEP TWO

Combine sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a bowl and mix well.  Add 1/4 cup softened butter (or shortening), the egg and mix with a hand mixer or spoon.

STEP THREE

Add 1/2 cup of milk and mix.

STEP FOUR

While mixing stir in the 2 cups flour.  Add blueberries and gently mix trying not to crush too many berries.

STEP FIVE

Grease and flour a 9″ deep dish pie plate or 2 small meat loaf pans, a bread loaf pan or round casserole dish.  Pour batter into pans. It should only fill the pan about half way.  The batter will rise when baked.

TOPPING

3/4 cups sugar

1/2 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 cups soft or melted butter

Mix topping ingredients together then sprinkle over cake top and bake in 375 degree oven for approximately 45 minutes.  If you use a loaf pan like I did it will take about 10 minutes or so longer. Enjoy!
