Grandpa Long's Blueberry Cake

"My mother recommended I post this recipe as she remembers it from her childhood. I asked her if it had a frosting to go with it and she said it never lasted long enough to be frosted. So enjoy it plain or use your choice of frosting."

  1. What a delcious cake Bunlady. We enjoyed it very much. The texture of this cake was perfect, tender and moist and the flavour was delicious. I used frozen, well drained, small wild blueberries, they worked really well. This cake was a lovely treat. Thanks so much for sharing...Another winner!
     
  2. I can remember making this exact recipe for my daughters girls club night. The leader liked it so well that she asked for the recipe. I like it! It is a good basic cake recipe. Served unfrosted it is great with coffee or for tea. I"m glad to see it on recipezaar because I lost my copy.
     
  3. I made this today . I followed the recipe step by step. I baked it at 350 degrees for 50 minutes. It did not cook as a cake.It seemed to have too much sugar or something because it came out like baked sugar and blueberries.The cake texture was missing.

I enjoy cooking and baking and love to read cookbooks and to collect them. I have quite a few cookbooks but I'm always on the lookout for more. I especially enjoy the ones put out by church groups or organizations where they submit thier favorite recipe. I have quite a few like that and I am trying to collect them from all over the country. I am not much for seafood but I will try new things and want to learn to eat different cuisines by trying to make different dishes and have found Zaar to be a great resource for recipes from all over the world. I also want to get into baking bread and experiment with making cakes and learning to decorate them. <br> <br>Well this is my second year on Zaar and I look forward to finding even more delicious recipes to try. I still have tons of recipes that I want to share but I don't seem to have enough time to post them. I did visit the Men's forum awhile back and thought that was great that they found a home all there own. I do feel that some of the best chefs are still men. I know ladies I'm being a trader to my own gender, but I do like to hear thier perspective on things. I love to make soups and have saved so many soup recipes I don't think I will ever be able to make them all but would love to try. <br> <br>My greatest dream would be to travel around the country and try all different types of foods and meet new people and learn how they make thier regional cuisines. I hope when i retire I will be able to make this dream come true. <br> <br>Right now in my life I am extrememly busy, I am my mom's primary caregiver and spend alot of time with her every evening after work. I cook for her and she isn't much for trying new things anymore but I still try to sneak in a new recipe now and then. I also volunteer to cook at my local Moose Lodge which I really enjoy as I truly love to have someone to cook for. I have worked in a couple of small restaurants and done some short order cooking in the past and if I could make a living doing this I would still be there. I have always dreamed of owning my own restaurant, but most cooks do, I am currently having a lot of back problems and wouldn't be able to handle it anymore. So now I cook for anyone who wants to eat. If their hungry I want to feed them. I don't think you can ever learn everything there is to know about cooking and thats what appeals to me, the fact that it is a constant learning experience. I always can pick up a new recipe from someone I meet , a magazine, cookbook, or from TV and I will never live long enough to try all of them.
