  2. BLUEBERRY CRUMB CAKE
    http://melissaheartsfood.blogspot.com/2009/07/blueberry-crumb-cake.html

    I have wanted to make this recipe for a loooong time. And finally thanks to blueberries being on sale, and blueberries being chosen for the ingredient for our WC Ingredient Challenge I no longer had an excuse not to make it. I wish I had made it sooner. It was fabulous. The only change I made was I cooked mine an 8X8 dish for 55 minutes and I didn't not use all my crumb topping.

    From Ina Garten/Barefoot Contessa

    INGREDIENTS

    For the streusel:
    1/4 cup granulated sugar
    1/3 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
    1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour

    For the cake:
    6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature (3/4 stick)
    3/4 cup granulated sugar
    2 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
    1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
    2/3 cup sour cream
    1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/4 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
    1 cup fresh blueberries
    Confectioners' sugar for sprinkling

    DIRECTIONS

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9-inch round baking pan.

    For the streusel:
    Combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl. Stir in the melted butter and then the flour. Mix well and set aside.

    For the cake:
    Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on high speed for 4 to 5 minutes, until light. Reduce the speed to low and add the eggs 1 at a time, then add the vanilla, lemon zest, and sour cream. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture to the batter until just combined. Fold in the blueberries and stir with a spatula to be sure the batter is completely mixed.

    Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out with a knife. With your fingers, crumble the topping evenly over the batter. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean. Cool completely and serve sprinkled with confectioners' sugar.

    3/4 cup sugar
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/4 teaspoon salt

  16. White Chocolate Blueberry Bread Pudding with Hazelnut Cream Sauce

    I used an Emeril recipe and it was INCREDIBLE! The original recipe used Amaretto liquer for an Amaretto Cream Sauce but I opted for Hazelnut instead. I took a picture but the the camera died. So, that's a good excuse to make it again! I was going to bring it into work today but I just can't share it, it's THAT good.

    2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus 2 tablespoons, melted
    4 large eggs
    3 cups heavy cream
    1 cup milk
    1 cup packed light brown sugar
    1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    6 cups 1/2-inch cubes day-old bread
    6 ounces white chocolate, chopped
    I carton fresh bluberries

    Amaretto Cream Sauce:

    1 tablespoon cornstarch
    3/4 cup Hazelnut Coffee Creamer (not the powder)
    1 cup heavy cream
    1/4 cup granulated sugar

    Directions:

    For the Bread Pudding: Preheat the oven to 350 degree F. Butter a 10 by 14-inch baking dish with the softened butter. Whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Whisk in the cream, milk, brown sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. Add the bread, chocolate and blueberries and stir well, then mix in the melted butter. Let sit for 30 minutes so the bread will absorb the egg mixture.

    Pour into the prepared dish. Bake until firm when pressed in the center, about 1 hour. Cool on a wire rack until just warm, about 20 minutes.

    For the Amaretto Cream Sauce: In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the Amaretto and whisk until smooth.

    In a medium saucepan, scald cream over medium heat. Add the Amaretto slurry to the hot cream and whisking constantly, bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook, whisking for 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and add the sugar. Whisk until dissolved. Let cool to room temperature before serving with the bread pudding.

    Serve warm.
