Description

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 cups frozen wild blueberries
• 3 cups + 2 tablespoons all-purpose or white-wheat flour, divided
• 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda (high altitude adjustment: 1-1/4 teaspoons above 3000 ft; 1 teaspoon above 6000 ft)
• 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• ¾ teaspoon ground ginger
• ¾ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• 1-1/2 cups sugar (see below for options)
• ¾ cup rice bran, grapeseed, or canola oil
• 2 large eggs (see below for egg-free option)
• 6 tablespoons blackstrap molasses
• 1-1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup + 2 tablespoons water
• Powdered confectioners’ sugar, for topping

Directions

• Preheat your oven to 350ºF and grease and flour an 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Place the blueberries and 2 tablespoons flour in a medium bowl and toss to evenly coat each blueberry.
• Place the remaining 3 cups flour in a large bowl, and whisk in the baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
• In a mixing bowl, blend the sugar, oil, egg, molasses, and vinegar until smooth.
• Stir in half of the flour mixture, followed by the water, and then the remaining flour mixture. Do not over mix, a few small lumps are okay.
• Gently stir in the blueberries with any residual flour.
• Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan, making sure to scrape out as much as you can.
• Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
• Let cool before cutting into slices. Plate and sift powdered sugar over top of each piece.
