GoodMorning!
On such a beautiful sunny day (although super cold here in The Netherlands), it’s a perfect day to bake!
Fruits are super affordable in The Netherlands, nothing compared to back home in Curaçao.
We took a trip hand-picking fruits; very fun to do btw. We picked so much, the fridge and freezer were jam-packed.
What to do.. bake a blueberry cake!
Ingredients
Dough
- 350 grams flour
- 200 grams butter (unsalted Achor)
- 150 grams sugar
- 1 egg
- Pinch of salt
- Small packet of vanilla sugar
- Teaspoon of baking powder
Filling
- 1 egg (use yolk only)
- Cup of blueberries
Set the oven at 350°C
Combine all ingredients in a bowl, and forming a ball. Wrap the dough-formed ball in a plastic wrap and store in the fridge, for at least 2 hours.
Butter a ceramic oven dish (I used a small round oven dish); unfold the ball on the bottom and the sides. Place 1/4 of the dough on the side, this is to be used for the upper section of the cake. Insert blueberries in the dough. Flatten remaining dough with a roller. Cut thin slices and place these vertically and horizontally on the cake. Paste the yellow eggyolk on the upper section, insert in the oven for 1 1/2 hour.
Remove the cake from the oven, when the upper section is golden brown.
Bon appetite!
