Hi Folks...

Sorry I am a bit late again, :D not too sure if today is Thursday... lol.. too much to do and too much rain, make me lost my memory..:P

Anyway folks... here is my contribution to the theme... Blueberries Marbled cake, yes... is food again, sorry I can't seem to think of anything else at the moment, this is a last minite thing, just whip it all up during the last 1/2 hour, so please do let me know what you think.



Blueberries Marbled cake

Ingredient:

- 2 eggs
- 125g(4 oz) butter
- 1 1/3 cups(165g or 5 1/2oz) self-raising flour, sifted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1/2 cup (125g or 4 oz)caster sugar
- 2 tablespons soft brown sugar (not too pack)

Preparing your Blueberries
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 1/4 cups (195g or 6 1/2 oz) fresh blueberries, plus extra for decoration


Decoration:

- Icing sugar (to dust)
- Cream
- Blueberries

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 180C or 350F. Lightly grease a 20cm (8 inch) round springform tin and line the base and side with baking paper.

Place the sugar and 1/2 of the blueberries in a small saucepan. Stir together gently over medium heat for 1-2 mins until the juices begin to run then remove from the head. Stir in the remaining blueberries, and allow the mixture to cool.

Beat the eggs in a small mixing bowl, add the vanilla essence and butter, mix well. Combine the flour and sugar in a mixing bowl. Make a well int eh centre, using a metal spoon or knife stir in the egg mixture until smooth.

Take out 3/4 cup of the cake mixture and stir into blueberries. Place spoonfuls of both mixtures randomly into the prepared tin. Swirl the mixture with a knift of skewer to produce a marbled effect. Do not overmix as we want to keep the marbled look. Springle the brown sugar over the top. Bake for 45-50mins or until the skewer comes out clean. Stand the cake in its tin on a wire rack to cool down for 5 mins before removing the cake from the tin and let completly cool down.

For decoration and serving, you can dust the icing sugar over the cake or with extra berries and cream. Alternative if the blueberries is out of season, you can use Rasberries instead. :D

Outstanding work here Sweety, I just knew you were going to mess up my diet again today! HAHAA!. I LOVE blueberries! I have made some blueberry tea here with me now! Nice presentation, love the BLUE framing on this one, rather than black! Blue for Blueberries? Ingenius! Nice posting!

Hi Sweety,

Simply delicious! The pale blue frame really caught my attention. It looks great with the blueberries. The cake (we call this a coffee cake in the U.S) looks delicious with it's powdered sugar on top.

That would go great with a giant cup of coffee! I'm hungry.... :D Lisa

Sweety Hi:
Excellent, just excellent. Good Morning.
Wonderful theme presentation, full of color and clarity. You are such a good cook and photographer.

Hmmmm, very Yummi, dear Sweety.
Nevermind its not sharp, aslong it is 'Sweety'. haha
But eh... 3 pieces is a bit little for all the ones who contribute the theme, right.
So better bake a few more.
Best wishes from Jan

For sure I will chew on a piece of paper or a colored pencil , staring at the computer and thinking how wonderful that cake must taste! :))) I'm at the office, as I already told you, but I found colored pencils don't taste nearly as bad! :)))
Wonderful composition, Sweety, excellent blue pastel choice as background, it gives the image a very refined appearance.
Take care my dear, and please, have mercy on me! :D
