Questions & Replies

  1. Why is there no baking soda or powder? Mine is still baking. guess we will see how it turns out.
     
  2. Should you use salted or unsalted butter?
     
  3. Ok, I made this cake and 2/3's in i realized it didn't call for baking powder and/or baking soda... So I thought maybe because it calls for 6 eggs (to help rise), however, when it was done (smelled WONDERFUL) I took it out , let it cool and it was very heavy and dense... Could've used it as as a lead sinker on a fishing line.... Please advise. TIA
     
  4. I have noticed that the recipe doesn't use baking powder or baking soda. Why not?
     
  5. Do you preheat the oven?

Reviews

  1. We doubled the amount of blueberries and baked it 15 minutes longer. It is a beautiful looking cake.
     
  2. Wonderful cake. The only change I made, was to double the amount of berries.
     
  3. Incredibly dense and moist. Now this is what an old fashioned pound cake should be! Just like the ones I remember at all the bake sales and at Grandmother's. Used fresh blueberries and the zest and juice of a lemon. Will definitely keep this recipe and use it throughout blueberry season! Thanks for such a great recipe with so much old fashioned flavor and fantastic texture.
     
  4. I also added more blueberries; the more the better I thought. The cake was very dense. Hubby likes cakes with no frosting so this was perfect for him. Had to bake it about 15 minutes longer. Thanks for sharing this.
     
  5. Really good cake with a velvety texture. I also used more berries than the recipe called. I will definitely make this cake again.

Tweaks

  1. This cake is awesome.I did use extra blueberries and swans cake flour instead of all purpose.
     
  2. I doubled the blueberries. I also dyed half the batter purple and layered it in the pans, just for fun. :)
