Happy Monday, y'all! I'm so sorry for the long absence, although must admit that it was restorative and I took plenty of naps. All is well here in TLP, just taking a breather to try out some tasty new recipes (like this one), try my hands at some crafts (most of which involve spray paint), and, of course, lots of prepping for the churro. There's a lot to catch up on, so let's get started!
One of my neighbors had a baby in mid-April, and I wanted to bring her something moderately sweet and easy to eat as a congratulations/please help me finish this dessert gift. I whipped up this perfectly moist, pleasantly (aka not tooth-hurtingly) sweet summer cake and she was most appreciative. (The baby is pretty darn handsome, too!)
Bundt cakes are my go-to when I feel like baking something that will impress without the time and effort of cupcakes (too much frosting involved), cookies (all the batches and waiting around in the kitchen between), or especially layer cakes. For this dessert, just get some fresh blueberries and limes, mix everything up in a bowl, bake, and sprinkle with some powdered sugar. Enjoy some with coffee at breakfast, or sneak a midnight taste. There's less guilt and more opportunities for appreciation. Who doesn't need that?
Blueberry-Lime Bundt Cake (from Joy the Baker)
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 Tbsp. fresh lime zest
3 c. flour
1 Tbsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
3 eggs
1 c. butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 c. buttermilk
1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
1 c. fresh blueberries
Powdered sugar, for sprinkling on finished cake, optional
1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour a Bundt pan and set aside.
2. In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar and lime zest, then rub zest into sugar to release its essential oils.
3. In a large bowl, combine sugar, flour, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, butter, buttermilk, and lime juice.
4. Add wet ingredients all at once to dry ingredients. Stir until everything is thoroughly combined; it should be thick, but not lumpy. Add berries and fold into batter until evenly distributed.
5. Spoon batter into prepared Bundt pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the middle of the batter comes out dry. Allow cake to cool for at least 20 minutes before inverted on a wire rack to finish cooling.
6. Once cooled, sprinkle powdered sugar onto cake and serve.

ReplyDeleteSo glad you didn't stop checking, Grandma!
ReplyDeleteDR WALE I want to appreciate you for all the good things you did for my family. My parents have been having issues settling themselves, but nothing seems to be working for them. they separated and that gave us the children's some much harder time. We want to see our both parents back together, so we had to contact DR WALE because DR WALE was the man that helped my sister to settle in her marriage when she had an issue with her husband. So, we contacted DR WALE to see if he can bring our parents together. When we reached out to him, He asked us how long our parents have been separated. We told him for SIX years. He said that isn't a problem. After everything was done. We discovered that it was our mother's best friend that did everything to see that our parents weren't together. But all thanks to DR WALE our parents are finally back together. We are united as one big family now. If your parents are divorce and you want them back together DR WALE is the best man to contact. You can contact DR WALE Via WhatsApp OR Viber: +2347054019402 OR Email: drwalespellhome@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteWhen I was pregnant I never knew that my husband and nanny were having an affair. I never suspected anything like that was happening behind my back, What I noticed was that my nanny kept disrespecting my decision anytime I tried to correct her. she'll look down on me and never take my words seriously. This kept going on. One faithful day I tried to question her wrong doing in the house before I could speak up, she flamed up at me telling me not to question her actions any more, when she said that believe me my eye got blurry then she pushed me out her face. When my husband returned from work I told him what happened. My husband couldn't do anything about it. When I tried to stand my ground my husband and nanny attacked me. My husband then went into our room, packed all my luggage and threw me out of the house telling me he's not Interested in me anymore. I left the house in pain and tears asking myself where everything went wrong. So before then I have read on the internet where a lady was given a good review about DR REETHESH . I took the DR REETHESH number and shared what has happened to me. He told me to make payment for all materials which I paid for. DR REETHESH did spiritual caster and found out that my nanny was sipping an evil substance in my husband's meal and water to drink, So that my husband will maltreat me and send me packing out of our home. But thanks to DR REETHESH he came to my rescue. My nanny was exposed and all her evil plans failed. Today my husband and I have welcomed our child and we're living happily again together. I'll advise you to contact DR REETHESH If you have any trouble disturbing your mind. Contact him Via WhatsApp: +2349012999010 OR Email: reethesh60@gmail.com
