Blueberry Orange Cake

blueberry orange cake
I made this cake last week, and oo la la, was it yummy. Here’s the recipe: take my orange cake recipe and throw in a pint of blueberries.

And perhaps this week I will make mabul cake. A friend just told me how to marbleize cake: pour in the white batter. Pour the chocolate batter in stripes over the white batter. Move a knife back and forth in the opposite direction of the chocolate stripes. Will it work? Advice welcome.

That looks and sounds like my kind of recipe: simple and delicious! :-)

Now if we only had blueberries...

Can you get frozen berries? My father suggested trying frozen berries. I just love the part where I pour the berries into the cake, though.

The problem sometimes with fruit that was frozen is water, as in too much liquid in the cake batter.
It is a bit late here for blueberries but maybe next year; the cake looks really good.

Thanks for the feedback on the frozen fruit idea. Yes, August is the height of blueberry season for us. We are still getting some in the supermarket from Michigan.

The photo makes it look divine.

I am allergic to blueberries, so would use dried cranberries.

"allergic to blueberries" - oh, how dreadful. One of my favorite fruits. I'm sure cranberries would be delightful - maybe with a little sugar if you use fresh ones.
