Blueberry Boy Bait
- 2 cups Basic Gluten-Free Flour Mix (page 19)
- 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 tablespoon double-acting baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup dairy-free, soy-free vegetable shortening
- 3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 4 1/2 teaspoons Ener-G egg replacer mixed with 6 tablespoons rice milk
- 3/4 cup rice milk
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries tossed with 1 tablespoon Basic Gluten-Free Flour Mix (page 19)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar mixed with 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Grease a 9 by 9-inch baking pan and sprinkle with a little gluten-free flour mix, tapping out any extra.
- Whisk together the flour mix, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt.
- Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the shortening, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
- Mix on medium-high speed for 2 minutes, or until fluffy.
- Add the egg replacer and mix for about 20 seconds.
- Reduce the speed to medium and beat in one-third of the flour, mixing for 15 seconds.
- Add half of the rice milk, mixing for 20 seconds.
- Beat in half of the remaining flour, then the remaining rice milk, and finally the remaining flour mixture, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
- Add half of the batter to the pan, using a frosting spatula to spread the batter evenly across the bottom of the pan.
- Sprinkle with half of the blueberries.
- Top with the remaining batter, spreading it as evenly as possible across the blueberries.
- Top with the remaining blueberries, then sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Bake in the center of the oven for 1 hour, until the cinnamon-sugar mixture has begun to caramelize and the top is golden.
- Let cool in the pan for 30 minutes before turning out onto a serving platter (or just cut into pieces and serve out of the pan).
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
- This cake is even better on day two!
- If using frozen blueberries, keep frozen until the last minute, or theyll turn your batter blue-green.
