HOW TO PREVENT FRESH BLUEBERRIES FROM SINKING
Coat the blueberries in flour to keep all of them from sinking to the bottom while baking.
TEST BAKING POWDER BEFORE USING
This recipe calls for two teaspoons of baking powder.
If your baking powder has been in the pantry for a month or two, test it before using to make sure it’s active.
Pour a few tablespoons of hot water into a small bowl.
Add 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. A vigorous fizz means it’s active and ready to use in this recipe.
If there’s a light fizz or none at all, trash it and buy fresh baking powder.
USE UNSALTED BUTTER (NOT MARGARINE)
The high fat content in butter (unsalted) gives cakes and other baked good their melt-in-your-mouth texture and buttery flavor.
USE ROOM TEMPERATURE EGGS
Room temperature eggs disperse evenly into the batter, causes even baking, and a lighter texture because eggs trap air. Bring eggs to room temperature quickly by soaking in a bowl of warm water for 10-15 minutes.
GREASE THE BUNDT PAN
Baking spray with flour is excellent for greasing the pan.
It’s quick, easy and NOT messy.
BAKING TIP
Some ovens cook faster than others. If the cake’s edges start to brown 15-20 minutes after placed in oven, immediately decrease temperature 25 degrees. Continue baking.
