Golden and Noble Works


“A wife too should regard her duties in the same light, as she suckles the child, rocks and bathes it, and cares for it in other ways; and as she busies herself with other duties and renders help and obedience to her husband. These are truly golden and noble works."
Martin Luther

Alaskan Blueberry Coffee Cake

Jenny S. writes:

This is an absolute favorite in our house, although I've never used genuine Alaskan blueberries. It's so delicious with butter melting on top! I will mention that in our house we watch our sugar intake so I've reduced the amount of sugar used in this recipe, too. What I use is in parentheses following the original amount.

Alaskan Blueberry Coffee Cake
1-1/2 cup flour
3/4 cup sugar (1/3 cup)
2-1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup oil
1/4 cup milk
1 egg
1 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (separate into 1 cup and 1/2 cup)

Topping:
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed ( 1/3 cup, not packed at all)
1/2 tsp cinnamon or more to taste
1/4 cup firm butter

In a medium mixing bowl, blend together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, oil, milk, egg, and 1 cup of the blueberries. Beat thoroughly for 30 seconds and spread into a greased round pan. In a separate bowl, combine topping ingredients. Sprinkle over batter and top with remaining berries. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 30-35 minutes, until done. Don't over bake. Serve warm with butter or honey.
