Vanilla Pound Cake With Blueberry Sauce
Pound cake! Just the mention of it makes me think of spring! Not only is this a very simple dessert to put together, with this lovely Vanilla Pound Cake with Blueberry Sauce springtime dessert just got a whole lot more fun!
What You'll Need For The Cake:
2 sticks of butter, softened
1 1/2 cups organic cane sugar
3 large eggs
1 cup of heavy cream
3 teaspoons of vanilla
3 cups of unbleached all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of sea salt
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Cream together butter sugar and eggs until smooth. Add heavy cream and vanilla to the butter mixture and stir until mixed. Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder and sea salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just incorporated. Pour batter into two buttered loaf pans and bake for 40-50 minutes until toothpick sticks clean. Remove cakes from the oven and let cool for 20-30 minutes before turning them out of their pans.
What You'll Need For The Blueberry Sauce:
2 cups of blueberries
2 tablespoons of organic cane sugar
2 tablespoons of water
While the cake is baking place the above ingredients into a sauce pan and cook until blueberries turn jelly like (approximately 20-25 minutes) stirring occasionally. Pour into an airtight container and chill for at least an hour.
To serve place a slice of cake on a plate, top with some blueberry sauce and homemade whipped cream.
Makes about 16 servings.
