Description

This Nova Scotia Blueberry Cream Cake is a delectable dessert combining the sweetness of fresh blueberries with a tangy sour cream filling on a buttery, flaky crust. Easy to make yet impressive, it’s the perfect treat for any occasion. A true taste of Nova Scotia in every bite, this cake will become a new favorite.

Ingredients

For the Crust:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup sugar

1 ½ tsp baking powder

½ cup butter (cut into small cubes)

1 egg

For the Filling:

4 cups fresh blueberries (frozen can also be used)

2 cups sour cream

½ cup white sugar

2 egg yolks

1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures your cake bakes evenly.
  2. Prepare the Crust:
    In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and baking powder. Add the butter cubes and use your hands or a fork to mix until the dough becomes crumbly. Add the egg and stir until the dough comes together. If it’s too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it holds its shape when pressed. Press the dough into the bottom of a greased springform pan.
  3. Add the Blueberries:
    Evenly distribute the fresh blueberries over the crust. Lightly press them into the dough to balance the textures in each bite.
  4. Make the Filling:
    In a separate bowl, whisk together sour cream, sugar, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour the mixture over the blueberries, spreading it evenly.
  5. Bake the Cake:
    Place the pan in the oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until the edges of the crust are lightly browned, and the filling is set. If the top begins to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with foil.
  6. Remove the Cake from the Pan:
    Let the cake cool. Run an offset spatula or butter knife around the edges to loosen it. Carefully release the springform pan and let the cake cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • For a Crunchy Topping: Add a streusel topping (flour, butter, sugar) for a delightful texture.
  • Substitute Ingredients: Greek yogurt can replace sour cream for a similar tangy flavor.
  • Other Crust Options: Try using a graham cracker or shortbread crust for a twist.
