Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Glaze:
1 1/2 cups (packed) powdered sugar, sifted
2 tablespoons (or more) fresh lemon Juice
Cake:
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup yellow cornmeal
3/4 cup sugar
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon peel
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, cooled
Crushed-Blueberry Sauce

Steps:

  • For glaze:
  • Combine powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons lemon juice in small bowl. Stir with spoon until smooth and paste-like, adding more lemon juice by 1/2 teaspoonfuls if glaze is too thick to spread. Set aside.
  • For cake:
  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Butter 9-inch-diameter cake pan with 2-inch-high sides; line bottom with parchment. Combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt in large bowl; whisk to blend. Whisk buttermilk, eggs, lemon peel, and vanilla in small bowl. Pour buttermilk mixture and melted butter into flour mixture. Using rubber spatula, gently fold liquids into flour mixture until just blended (do not stir). Scrape batter into pan; spread evenly.
  • Bake cake until tester inserted into center comes out clean and cake pulls away from sides of pan, about 30 minutes.
  • Immediately run knife around sides of cake. Place rack atop cake in pan. Using oven mitts, hold pan and rack firmly together and invert cake onto rack. Remove pan from cake. Place another rack on bottom of cake; invert 1 more time so that cake is top side up. Stir glaze until blended. While cake is still very hot, drop glaze by tablespoonfuls onto cake; spread to within 1/2 inch of edge (some glaze may drip down sides of cake). Cool completely. Serve with Crushed-Blueberry Sauce.

Categories     Sauce     Low Fat     Low Cal     Blueberry     Summer     Low Cholesterol     Lemon Juice     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes about 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups fresh blueberries or frozen, thawed (13 to 14 ounces), divided
2/3 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
Pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Combine 11/2 cups blueberries and all remaining ingredients in medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to simmer, about 7 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until berries are very soft and liquid is syrupy, stirring often, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat; add remaining blueberries. Using back of spoon, gently press fresh blueberries against side of pan until lightly crushed. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill. Serve chilled or rewarm before serving, if desired.

Tips:

  • To make a smooth sauce, use a blender or food processor to puree the blueberries until they are completely smooth.
  • If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can mash the blueberries with a fork or potato masher until they are mostly smooth.
  • Add sugar to the sauce to taste. The amount of sugar you add will depend on how sweet you like your sauce.
  • If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry. To make a cornstarch slurry, mix together equal parts cornstarch and water until a smooth paste forms. Then, stir the slurry into the sauce and cook over low heat until the sauce has thickened.
  • Crushed blueberry sauce can be used as a topping for pancakes, waffles, french toast, and ice cream.
  • It can also be used as a filling for pies, tarts, and cakes.
  • Crushed blueberry sauce can also be used as a glaze for chicken, fish, and pork.

Conclusion:

Crushed blueberry sauce is a versatile and delicious sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you have a craving for something sweet and tangy, give crushed blueberry sauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
