Blueberry Girl Bait
Actually, it's known officially as Blueberry Boy Bait, but I've chosen to modify my title due to the different sex of the chef (moi). In 1954, a 15-year-old girl won second prize in the junior division of a Pillsbury baking contest with a moist and tender blueberry cake that was named after the effect it had on teenage boys--one bite and they were hooked. The BGB (or BBB) straddles the line between a Blueberry Buckle (streusel topping) and a Blueberry Muffin. The BG/BB is especially moist and tender due to the two sticks of butter, hehe.
B(G/B)B
- 2 sticks butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups + 1 tsp flour
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 - 1.5 cups blueberries
B(G/B)B Cinnamon-Sugar Topping
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/8 cup cinnamon
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- Cream the butter and two sugars together.
- Add in eggs, one at a time.
- Mix together flour, baking powder, salt. Add in 1/2 of the flour mixture into the butter/sugar/eggs.
- Add in half of the cup of milk.
- Add in remaining flour mixture, remaining milk.
- Fold in blueberries.
- Bake ~ 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees F.
- Remove from oven, add in 1/2 cup of blueberries on top (cake should be slightly set since it's half-baked and blueberries won't sink as much) and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Finish baking until toothpick comes out clean, or about 40-50 minutes total.
- Let cool 20 minutes in pan.
- Enjoy!
