lazy cooks blueberry cake

Hi.......my mom got this tub of bluberries..actually blueberry pie filling..from canada....I've been using this for making muffins,cakes,tarts.everything except pies!.......Now do not despair..you remember that gorgeous jamlazy-cooks-grape-jam...the consistency is somewhat the same so you can replace with jam(if you made it)..and if you did'nt...remedy it quick..black grapes are still available!

INGRDS

1 cup self raising flour

3/4 cup butter

3/4 cup sugar

3 eggs

1 tsp vanilla essence

1/2 cup bluberry pie filling

METHOD

1.Beat the butter and sugar till light and fluffy..I use an electric beater.

2.Add the eggs one by one.

3.Add the essence and the flour,beat till the flour is mixed properly.

4.Now,with a spoon mix in the bluberry/grape jam.......I wanted some buttery pcs to come through.
5.Pour in a buttered and dusted..aka..prepared cake pan.....bake at 180 degC for 30 mins...check with a skewer if the cake is done.

6.Cut into slices and enjoy with a hot cup of coffee.or with cold coffee..or with tea..or just like that!

NOTE:you can do away with the extra stuff(blueberries/jam)and just ad 1/4 cup of milk..beat well and bake..you'll get a super vanilla cake.

lazy cooks butter cake

I seriously need to meet Mr. Kapil Sibal and tell him his idea of making education stress free for the children has worked.................my kids are in a school which has adopted the system proposed by him and they are completely STRESS FREE.They have their exams.............their finals if you please..but looking at them you aren't going to think that....heck ..even right now..they are out playing with their other stress free friends.....I in the meantime(I belong to the old school...of studying..when there are exams)am going "greyer" by the second,my blood pressure is up and MY stress levels are through the roof!...........but not the kids...they are happy..not to worry!
I decided that the only thing that's going to help me is to find a new recipe for butter cake....so after looking through the recipes on the net...this particular one seemed just right.this is the easy butter cake recipe by Bella on bestrecipes.Its a really good recipe......the taste is simply super,the only thing that went wrong (in my case )was that it was a little crumbly...but that was probably because I did not have self raising flour..and used baking pdr..get self raising flour and make this cake.you wont regret it.
