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.

Baking Powder

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.

  • baking spray with flour use to grease Bundt pan

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In medium-sized bowl, sift together two cups of flour (will use 3 tablespoons of flour later), baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In another medium-sized bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together butter, and sugar. Add eggs one at a time. Add milk, vanilla extract, lemon extract, lemon, and lime juice. Mix until fluffy.

  • Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Oven temperatures vary. Decrease 25 degrees if cake's edges start browning 20 minutes into baking (cooking too fast).
  • After baking completely, carefully remove HOT bundt pan from oven. Let stand 15 minutes. If cake doesn't move easily when pan is shaken, loosen by using a rubber spatula to go around edges.
  • Cover top of Bundt pan with a large cake plate. Flip over to release cake.
