Lemon-Glazed Cornmeal Cake with Blueberry Sauce

Recipe

Beloved foodie magazine, Epicurious, has a highly rated Lemon Cake recipe that is sweet and tart. Follow the recipe but replace the buttermilk with homemade Kefir from Blog 1. Although the Kefir loses its probiotic benefits when heated, it has a richer flavor than buttermilk. Add a healthy topping of DIY Kefir Sour Cream, and you can have your cake and eat it, too!

Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Butter 9-inch-diameter cake pan with 2-inch-high sides; line bottom with parchment.
step 2
Combine All-Purpose Flour (1 1/2 cups), Cornmeal (1/3 cup), Granulated Sugar (3/4 cup), Baking Powder (4 tsp), and Salt (as needed) in a large bowl; whisk to blend.
step 3
Whisk Whole Fat Kefir (1 cup), Farmhouse Eggs® Large Brown Eggs (2), 1 Tbsp zest from Lemons (1 1/2), Vanilla Extract (1 tsp) and Unsalted Butter (1/2 cup) in a small bowl.

step 4
Pour kefir mixture into the flour mixture. Using rubber spatula, gently fold liquids into flour mixture until just blended (do not stir). Scrape batter into pan; spread evenly.
step 5
Bake cake until tester inserted into center comes out clean and cake pulls away from sides of pan, about 30 minutes.
step 6
Combine Powdered Confectioners Sugar (1 1/2 cups) and 2 Tbsp of Lemon Juice in a small bowl. Stir with a spoon until smooth and paste-like, adding more lemon juice by 1/2 teaspoonful if the glaze is too thick to spread. Set aside.
step 7
Combine Fresh Blueberries (1 1/2 cups) with Brown Sugar (2/3 cup), 2/3 Tbsp of Lemon Juice, 1/6 Tbsp of Lemon Zest in a medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a simmer about 7 minutes.
step 8
Remove from heat; add remaining Fresh Blueberries (1 1/2 cups) and Salt (to taste). Using back of spoon, gently press fresh blueberries against side of pan until lightly crushed.
step 9
Immediately run knife around sides of cake. Place rack over cake in pan. Using oven mitts, hold pan and rack firmly together and invert cake onto rack. Remove pan from cake. Remove parchment paper.
