EGGLESS
BLUEBERRY CAKE
| ULTIMATE RECIPE
Eggless Blueberry Cake – Last week was the egg version. This week the eggless I do a different way. I added some blueberries in the cake since the layers are thicker, I give it some blueberries for some colour. Instead of using the typical cream cheese frosting, in this version I used sour cream frosting. Sour cream frosting is very creamy and light, you’ll love it. I still stick with some puree, a must have for a blueberry cake, which makes every layer additional moist and soft. Let me know you comment, if you like the cake or how you like yours to be. Hope you will give this cake a try. Enjoy!

10. Let the cake cool completely.
-
Blueberry Puree
-
Wash the blueberries with salt and flour. My dad told me this is the best way to get rid of dirt or pesticides. Strain the berries and pat them dry. Place them in a milk pot.
-
Add sugar and lemon juice. Cook over a medium heat. Stir to prevent burnt.
-
Use a masher to mash the berries. Simmer for about 1-2 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat.
-
Strain the sauce. Set aside. The sauce will eventually be thickened like jam once it’s cool.
-
I saved the pulps for the fillings (optional)
-
Sour Cream Frosting
-
In a large bowl, add the sour cream. Give it a quick mix so that it’s creamy.
-
Sift in the powdered sugar. Mix until well combined.
-
Add in the puree, mix until well combined. Scrape the bowl to ensure the puree is mixed evenly.

Add in the whipping cream in two batches. Mix until combined. After adding the second batch, mix until stiff.
