Nova Scotia Blueberry Cream Cake

Directions

Ingredients :

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup white sugar

1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

½ cup butter

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 cups blueberries

2 cups sour cream

½ cup white sugar

2 egg yolks

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Methods :

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch springform pan.

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, and baking powder. Mix in the butter by pinching between your fingers or using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Pat lightly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Pour blueberries over the top.

In another medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, 1/2 cup of sugar, egg yolks and 1 teaspoon of vanilla until smooth. Pour over the blueberries.

Bake for 60 to 70 minutes in the preheated oven, until the top is lightly browned. Cool, then run a knife around the edge of the pan. Remove the outer ring of the pan, and cut into wedges to serve.
