Easy Baking Recipe: Banana Blueberry Cake
1:10:00 AM
I had some Bananas in the house that were browning and some blueberries that were finally ripe. I needed to use them and I came up with this recipe. It was basically a pound cake recipe that I modified to allow room for the fruits to evenly disperse throughout without making it heavy and it worked perfectly!!!!!!
I served this cake 2 ways: One the original way with just whipped cream and some berries on the side and the other was french toast style with 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream and a raspberry syrup on top! It was so good check it out! Here's the recipe for the cake:
Banana Blueberry Cake
4 c Flour
11/2 tbsp Baking Powder
6 Eggs
3 Bananas
1 Pint of Blueberries
1 tsp Salt
1 1/2 Butter or Margarine
2 tbsp Vanilla
Instructions
Prep Work:
1. Cream sugar and butter until it resembles a light pale color.
2. In a separate bowl add the flour, salt and baking powder together mix lightly and put to the side

4. Crack your eggs in a bowl and place them to the side.
5. Rinse your Blueberries. (If you want sweeter blueberries rinse the night before and add sugar with a pinch of salt). Leave them whole and place them to the side.
Mixing Directions
In the bowl with creamed sugar and butter add the vanilla and one egg at a time. Use a hand mixer or mixer. If you have neither you can still mix well with a whisk or wooden spoon. It will take longer and be more tedious but its possible. Once all the eggs are incorporated add your pureed banana.
Allow the ingredients to blend well and slowly add the flour 1 cup at a time. Scrap down the sides of the bowl to ensure all the flour mixture is blending into the batter. Mix it all one cup at a time until every bit of flour is blended. Take your blueberries and fold half of them into the batter.
Prep your bunt pan or baking dish. Spray with Pam or rub down with butter then sprinkle with flour to keep it from sticking.
*If the outside of the cake browns faster than cover it in foil and cook for 20 more minutes on 200 degrees.
Allow your cake to cook completely it will take an hour or two. Remove from the pan and serve!
The second way to eat this would be to make it French Toast Style.
Just make your normal custard for french toast. Cut a thick piece of cake and let it soak in the mixture on each side for a couple seconds. Butter your pan and place the cake in the pan and let it cook on both sides for 6 minutes. Place in a hot oven flipping it in 5 minutes until both sides are golden brown. Remove from the oven then add vanilla ice cream and raspberry syrup.
The raspberry syrup was simple too. Just add 2 cups of frozen or fresh raspberries and a cup and a half of sugar and a tsp of vanilla. Let it cook and reduce then spoon over your dessert and serve!
