Pearl River Blues Berry Farm Blueberry Pudding Cake

Frost with whipped cream or meringue and this cake will turn into a party! In new orleans, we’d turn a meringue-iced blueberry pudding cake into a baked alaska–style dessert by setting it on fire with an alcoholic concoction containing brandy and other dark liquors.

Steps

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Butter a 9-inch square baking pan.

In a small saucepan , combine 1 / 3 cup sugar with water , lemon juice , and cornstarch.

Mix well.

Add blueberries and bring mixture to a simmer.

Cook for 3 minutes , stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat and set aside.

In a large bowl , combine remaining 1 / 2 cup sugar , flour , baking powder , and salt.

Stir to blend.

In another bowl , whisk together egg , milk , butter , and vanilla.

Add egg mixture to flour mixture , whisking until just combined.

Spread batter in prepared pan.

Pour blueberry mixture evenly over the batter.

Bake at 375 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center of the cake portion comes out clean.

Cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Pour combined liquors into a saucepan and heat until tendrils of smoke begin to rise from the liquor.

Carefully light liquor with a match.

While flaming , pour over cake and serve.
