We went to pick some blueberries, they just grow on a little hill right next to the house. We probably picked about 4 cups, the blueberries here are wild and plentiful, extra sweet and tasty too. We wanted to make something out of them, but not muffins. We chose this recipe because I haven’t had it in a long time and Evie really likes it. This is a traditional Newfoundland recipe.
we used about 1 and 1/2cups blueberries
mix together 1/4 cup butter and 1/2 cup sugar
add 1 egg and mix then add about 1 to 1 and 1/2 cups of flour, 1 tsp baking powder and mix until combined
add milk (about 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup) while mixing so it is thick and creamy like cake batter.
then add the blueberries and fold in
then place in an 8 inch square baking pan and bake at 350F for 35 to 40 minutes until dark golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean
While the cake is baking you can make the brown sugar sauce.
place 2 tbsp butter melted and 2 tbsp flour in a small pot and whisk while heating
Whisk in 1 cup brown sugar (it will be dry and thick)
then add 1 cup of boiling water and 1 tsp vanilla whisking and heating bring to boil and whisk until it thickens to a syrupy brown sauce
Serve the warm sauce drizzled over a piece of the cake

We had this cake again yesterday, it was devoured. It is my most popular post so here it is again…..
This looks delicious. Now I know what to do with our glut of blueberries!
Can’t get the sauce to thicken.
It really doesn’t thicken much, it should be quite runny. Probably the consistency of maple syrup. Try adding a tap of cornstarch if you find it is not syrupy enough. Good luck!
