March 23, 2012 – 7:56 pm

Here is a quick easy recipe with basic household baking materials!  For buttermilk, you can place a cup of milk out for 10 minutes with 1 TSP of Lemon Juice or white vinegar.

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk

Set milk out and add the teaspoon of lemon juice and set aside for 5-10 minutes for the buttermilk mixture

Cream Butter and sugar in a bowl and whisk until mixed.  Add eggs one at a time and allow each to mix thoroughly.  In a side bowl, sift flour, baking soda and salt. Add the flour mixture to the butter/sugar batch and mix.  Add buttermilk, and vanilla. Grease a 9×5 pan and pour mixture into the pan.  Bake at 325 degrees until golden brown.

Enjoy!

Bluberry Cake at the Guest House

December 10, 2011 – 11:13 pm

One of my favorite cake recipes!

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups all purpose flour, sifted
1 cup granulated sugar
3 tsp baking powder
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 pt blue berries
Confectioners sugar (for dusting top of cake)

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9″ round cake pan.

Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl, toss blueberries in flour mixture to prevent from sinking to the bottom of the cake. In medium bowl, whisk eggs then add vanilla and oil until mixture is completely blended. Mix wet and dry ingredients until just combined, do not over mix. Be careful with the blueberries when combining the dry and wet ingredients.

Pour mixture into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes, depending on your oven. Cake is done when a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the cake. Allow cake to cool in pan for 10 minutes before gently removing from pan and placing on a wire rack to cool completely.
