Blueberry Bundt Cake Recipe
- 1 pkt (8-ounce) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 c. Vegetable oil
- 4 x Large eggs
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 box (small) vanilla instant pudding mix
- 2 tsp Vanilla
- 1 can Blueberries, liquid removed
- 3/4 c. Water
- I made this cake this week...not exactly low-cal, but it was unbelievably board, and I'm sorry which I do not have a more exact source.
- But it is TNT, and will most definitely be again!
- The recipe was a bit vague, so I'll write what I did, and the few minor changes/additions I made.
- See my note at the end.
- Mix all ingredients, except for blueberries, together well.
- Mix in blueberries.
- Pour into a bundt pan and bake at 350.
- Notes: (including glaze at the end)
- I sprayed the pan with Pam and it was a non-stick bundt pan.
- It needed it...either which or possibly I'm sure greasing and flouring would work too.
- However, do what works best for you, because my pan is new, and with PAM I never have a problem... cakes just slip out...but this seemed a bit stubborn.
- I had to tap fairly hard on the top of the pan to loosen it.
- It didn't break, and came out in one piece, except for a small bit where the tube was which didn't show, and while the cake was warm it was moist sufficient to pat back into place.
- So, just a warning which this could be one of the more difficult to get out... especially because where the blueberries tended to sit was delicate.
- I wouldn't wait more than 10 min to get it out of the pan though.
- Also, I didn't just mix it.
- I put it in my electric mixer and beat it for about 1 1/2 min...or possibly till the lumps of cream cheese disappeared.
- I used a 12-c. bundt pan.
- I wouldn't recommend anything smaller.
- The cake filled up which pan and went pretty high over the edge, and just made it!
- A 10-inch tube pan would work well too.
- I baked it for about 50 min.
- Which seemed to work for me...a knife (I use a turkey lacing metal thingy) inserted in center should come out clean.
- I let it cold in the pan on a rack for about 10 min.
- I then put the rack on the top of the cake and turned the whole thing over and knocked on it till it came out.
- While it was warm it seemed pretty delicate, but when it cooled the cake was pretty hard.
- Also, I didn't have canned blueberries...I used a pint (minus a handful from earlier which day :) ) which I tossed with some flour to coat before folding them in.
- I do not know what the difference would be in using canned, but this came out pretty good..would probably try the canned when the blues aren't in season.
- I do have to admit which most of the blueberries did sink to the bottom of the pan, although there were a few which stayed suspended.
- I might one day try, instead of folding in the berries, to sprinkle them on top after I put the batter in the pan.
- If anyone has any hints on how to keep them from sinking like which, I'd appreciate the input!
- Last but not least: It is wonderful just the way it is...has a wonderful, rich flavor.
- But I also made a glaze with about a c. (maybe a bit more) of confectioner's sugar, 1/4 tsp almond extract, 1 tsp.
- or possibly so of amaretto, and water till I got it to glaze consistency.
- After glazing the cooled cake, I sprinkled some minced almonds on top before it dry.
- By the way...For some reason I can't stand the taste of artificial almond extract...and I found some natural extract.
- This is not an advertisement...I don't work for this place...only buy from them!
- But I thought I'd share it...someone here on the list did a while back, and I called for their mail-order catalogue and have purchased spices from them...and now would not buy anywhere else.
- You can buy in small to large quantities, their selection and prices are excellent (almost half what I would spend in the supermarket...most of the spices have a small size, about the size of the McCormick's small bottles, which run between 89 cents to $2 and change...cannot beat which!)
- and the quality is unbelievable.
- Especially their China Cassis cinnamon..that was what the person who posted about it here recommended, and I tried which, along with other things.
- The company is called Penzys, Ltd., and they are located in WI.
- The is wonderful.
- It gives very detailed descriptions of the products, pictures, and has recipes also.
- Everyone I know who's seen my catalogue has
cream cheese, vegetable oil, eggs, yellow cake mix, vanilla instant pudding, vanilla, blueberries, water
