Cotton Soft Blueberry Cake

Cotton Soft Blueberry Cake - Coming back to my all time signature cotton soft sponge cake. This cake is so soft and with the blueberry puree made the flavor so phenomenal. You can go with buttercream or whipping cream, but for me, cream cheese frosting somehow goes so well with blueberry. To be honest, I’m not a fan of blueberries, maybe because it’s a little sour. Hence, the sweetness and saltiness of the cream cheese give the blueberries a good balance. If you’ve followed my other cotton sponge cakes, you’ll know this cake will melt in your mouth. Hope you will give this cake a try. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
• Blueberry Puree
250g [2 cups] fresh blueberries
75g [⅓ cup] sugar
15ml [1 tbsp] lemon juice
• Sponge Cake
I’m using 7x7x3 inch pan
5 egg yolks
35g [3 tbsp] fine sugar
60g [¼ cup] oil
50ml [3½ tbsp] milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp salt
90g [¾ cup] cake flour
5 egg whites
½ tsp cream of tartar OR 1 tsp of lemon juice or white vinegar
60g [¼ cup + 1 tbsp] fine sugar
• Cream Cheese Frosting (to cover the cake and deco)
450g [2 cups] cream cheese, softened
40g [⅓ cup] powdered sugar
50g [3½ tbsp] blueberry puree
225g [¾ cup + 3 tbsp] whipping cream
syrup [1 tbsp sugar + 2 tbsp hot water]
• Deco
Piping tip: 686
Leaves (I used basil, you can used anything you desire)
Fresh blueberries
Instructions:
• Blueberry Puree
1. Wash the blueberries with salt and flour. My dad told me this is the best way to get rid of dirt or pesticides. Strain the berries and pat them dry. Place them in a milk pot.
2. Add sugar and lemon juice. Cook over a medium heat. Stir to prevent burnt.
3. Use a masher to mash the berries. Simmer for about 1 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat.
4. Strain the sauce. (there will be some berries pulp going through the sift but that’s fine. I love the pulps as well. The reason I sift is so that the berries is softened and mashed properly)
5. Set aside. The sauce will eventually be thickened like jam once it’s cool.
• Sponge Cake
1. Preheat oven 160°C/320°F.
2. Separate the eggs.
3. In the yolk bowl, add sugar. Mix vigorously until well combined.
4. Add in the oil, mix until well combined. Add in milk, vanilla extract and salt. Mix until well combined.
5. Sift in the flour. Whisk in a circular motion until combined, do not over mix. Set aside.
6. In the bowl of egg whites, add cream of tartar. With an electric mixer, mix on low speed until frothy. Add sugar in 3 batches. Continue mixing on high speed until stiff peaks formed.
7. Add the egg whites into the yolk batter in 3 batches. Fold in a circular motion until the white disappear, do not over mix. Switch to a spatula and continue folding until combined, do not over mix.
8. Transfer batter into a 7x7x3-inch pan, greased and lined with parchment paper. Use you spatula to stir and wiggle the batter to release air trapped bubbles. Drop the pan a few times to release trapped air bubbles.
9. Bake in preheated oven at 160°C/320°F for 30 minutes, then lower to 150°C/300°F and bake for another 20 minutes, or until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Total baking time is 50 minutes.
10. Remove the cake from the pans, cool them completely before slicing.
11. Once the cake is cooled. Slice the cake into 4 sheets. Trimming off the brown edges is optional. Set aside.
• Cream Cheese Frosting
1. In a large bowl, add the softened cream cheese. Make sure the cream cheese is softened. If it’s not, you can pop into microwave for a few seconds just to get it softened.
2. With an electric mixer, give it a mix to ensure no lumps.
3. Sift in the powdered sugar. Mix until well combined.
4. Add in the puree, mix until well combined. Scrape the bowl to ensure the puree is mixed evenly.
5. Add in the whipping cream in two batches. Mix until combined. After adding the second batch, mix until stiff.

Hi Fiona. I tried making the sponge cake earlier on. Cake raised quite high while baking but the moment it's out, it deflated very badly and the shape was totally off. I'm using a convection oven and I followed the baking time and degree to a t. I am very sure my meringue was whipped correctly and the folding did not deflate the batter. Tasteand texture wise was awesome (thanks to your recipe 😊). May I ask what could have gone wrong? Not my first time making chiffon cake. Thank you

Hey . I just tried the cake sponge recipe from this cake. I followed all the steps as given. The cake turned out perfect in taste and texture. The only thing went wrong was that the cake got deshaped. And also got sink a bit. It had wrinkles as soon as it was out of the oven. Also the cake texture at the bottom was a bit raw. But when I inserted the knife it came out clean.

[@gracioustreatz7231]

Hi dear. Just briefly brush the cake layers with the syrup, maybe about a tablespoon to spread around each layers. Don't worry about the puree, it will not sip too much into the cake as they are thick like jam ☺️

Hi fiona,can use fresh cream instead whipping cream

[@gracioustreatz7231]

Fresh cream is usually not stable for cake covering as it has much lower fat percentage. They are usually used for cocktails or drinks or pies. Heavy cream or whipping cream will give more stability for cake filling and covering ☺️

[@tammiemartinez6485]

I just made the filling about 3 hrs ago. It's at room temp but it didn't set up like you said it would. After looking at the ingredients I wondered why you didn't include cornstarch or flour to help it do that?? Also when I put my berries through a sieve only juice came through but in the video it looks like you have a little bit of them in your measuring cup. Can you please tell me what I did wrong. Did anyone else have this problem? Now I have to put it back onto the stove and add a little bit of cornstarch to get this to thicken up. As it is there's no way it's going to say in place on the cake layers and it most definitely will make a liquidy mess out of my frosting...

[@gracioustreatz7231]

Hi Tammie. There is no need to add cornstarch when you're making puree or jam. Did you simmer for at least 1 minute after the mashing. I left my puree in the room while making the cake, my puree got thickened like jam in the jar. If you really not getting that, perhaps you can pop it in into the fridge to chill it properly. Don't worry so much about setting the jam. You're using it for a thin layer just to give your cakes a little moist, it's not entirely a thick layer. Also if you're getting just the juice from the sieve, your sieve is a very good one. For some reason, some tiny pulp still went through my sieve, maybe because I pressed it hard to extract the juice. Either way is fine, don't worry. I actually prefer no pulps then the frosting will be cleaner looking. About your frosting, did you mix the cream cheese and whipping cream until stiff? I wouldn't be that messy though

[@tammiemartinez6485]

@@gracioustreatz7231 Hi, thanks for replying. Yeah, I did. I actually let it simmer for just a few minutes more just to be on the safe side since I've never made a jam this way (without a thickening agent that is) but I wanted to give it a go. I had to use some cornstarch with the a little bit of the juice to make a slurry and I also put the mashed blueberries in it. It came out fine in the end. I wasn't going to make your frosting because my husband doesn't like cream cheese (crazy, I know, lol) and my son is lactose intolerant so using the heavy cream and cream cheese would have been far too much for him. Instead I made a batch of SMBC. Ugh, I was SO upset because I landed out having sugar granules in it. 🤦‍♀️ I can't tell you how many times I tested the mixture before taking it off the heat, while whipping before adding all of that butter yet it was in there. It's not as noticeable. Meaning it melts away a second after hitting the tongue but I know it's there. This has only happened to me once. 1st time it was extremely noticeable but thankfully I caught it before adding/wasting all of that butter, lol. So in the end I just went with a whipped cream frosting. I do plan to make it with the heavy cream and cream cheese (my sisters and I love it) so I'll come back to let you know how it turned out. Sorry for the long post 🤦‍♀️ lol. Thanks again for getting back to me... 😉

How to remove the eggy smell from the cake

[@tammiemartinez6485]

I know that smell you're speaking of. Last week I made a lemon flavored cotton sponge cake from another creator. Because we used lemon juice and zest in the batter (along with a tsp of vanilla extract) the smell obviously wasn't there. Since we're only using vanilla extract in this batter my suggestion would be to either use a tsp more, vanilla bean paste (if you can get your hands on it) and/or add a little bit of cinnamon to the dry ingredients. I'm planning to make this. My plan is to use vanilla bean paste and a little bit of cinnamon. Since cinnamon goes great with blueberries and cream cheese I think it's going to work. Hope this was helpful. Good luck. Happy baking...
