Quickbreads, Coffee Cakes Recipes
Yield: one 9x13-inch pan
In Colonial New England, it was said that a woman who made this cake could find herself a man, thus the epithet. Serve warm or cold, for dessert or breakfast. Try it with fresh cream.
- 2 cups flour
- 1-1/2 cups sugar [you can use as little as 1]
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 2/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 to 3 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 1 cup (or less) sugar [you can use as little as 2 or 3 tablespoons]
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl mix the first 7 ingredients with an electric mixer for 3 minutes. Pour the mixture into a greased and floured 9x13-inch baking pan. Arrange the blueberries on top, then mix together the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle evenly over the batter. Bake 50 minutes.

It was a little sweet so I think that you should go with the "you may use less sugar" thing. Other than that, the recope is great. It even has a cute little story to go with it. – Anonymous Review
I followed the suggestion and used the lower amount of sugar, plus 3 cups of freshly picked blueberries. The people at work loved it! So did my husband; he was a little put out that I gave most of it to my co-workers! – Anonymous Review

Many years ago when I took this recipe out of Yankee Magazine, it called to separate the eggs. Mixing everything as you have it and then adding the beaten eggs at the end, it does make a difference in the taste, which I like better. – Reviewed by Carol Turner
Lowered the amount of sugar to 3/4 C for cake, and 3TBSP for topping. – Anonymous Review
My whole family loved it. I made it as it was...no substitutions. We will definitely make it again! – Anonymous Review
My 7-year-old daughter loves blueberries and would have eaten the whole thing had I let her. It was very good. I made it according to the recipe. Next time, I may decrease the sugar in the topping. (Depends on how this New Year's Resolution holds...) – Anonymous Review
