If you were out picking this summer, you may have discovered a bumper crop of huckleberries. 2014 is the best huckleberry season in a loooooong time.
So, if you have lots of huckleberries, you might want to try this huckleberry coconut cake posted by the Allergy Reporter:
Ingredients
- CAKE INGREDIENTS:
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup flaked, sweetened coconut
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup soy milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
- 2 Tablespoons flour
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or thawed huckleberries
- GLAZE INGREDIENTS:
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 4 1/2 teaspoons corn starch
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
- 1 Tablespoon butter substitute
- 2 Tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice (from about 1 lemon)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch cake pan.
- In a large bowl mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and coconut. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, soy milk and oil. Using a rubber spatula, stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients until moistened.
- In a small bowl, combine berries with 2 Tablespoons flour. Stir gently to coat berries with flour. This keeps the berries from “bleeding” too much. Fold berries gently into batter, careful not to squish berries.
- Spread batter into baking pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until edges begin turning light golden brown and pulling away from the pan and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan while preparing glaze.
- To prepare glaze, bring water to boil. Whisk in sugar, corn starch and lemon zest and continue whisking until blended. Bring to boil and, stirring constantly. Boil for two minutes or until glaze thickens. Remove from heat and stir in butter substitute and lemon juice. Glaze can be served while warm, or at room temperature.
- To serve, cut cake into squares and drizzle with glaze. Garnish with additional lemon zest, if desired.
