BLUEBERRY - LEMON GUGELHUPF!

Hey guys!

Today I want to share a great new recipe I discovered! It's the recipe of a "blueberry/lemon Gugelhupf" - it's the first Gugelhupf I've ever made and it turned out really well, which I'm really glad of. Due to the enormous heat that's going on in Europe at the moment, I wanted to make something light and refreshing and this is the perfect dessert for those hot summer days - it's just absolutely delicious and everybody who tried it, immediately loved it :)

So here's what you need:

     for the cake

• 1 cup butter (softened)

• 2 cups sugar

• 3 large eggs

• 1 tbsp vanilla extract

• 2 ¼ cups all purpose flour

• 2 tsp baking soda

• a pinch of salt

• 1 cup (butter) milk 

• zest of 1 lemon

• blueberries

      for the glaze

• 3 tbsp (butter) milk

• 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to ~170°C and grease the Gugelhupf pan thoroughly with butter!

2. Mix sugar & butter until it's smooth - then add the eggs and the vanilla extract

3. In a seperate bowl, mix flour, baking soda & salt together

4. Add the flour mixture alternating with the (butter) milk

5. Lastly, add the lemon zest and turn off the mixer - then add the blueberries and

                stir them in with a spoon.

6. Pour the batter into the pan

        7. Add some more blueberries 

8. Let it bake for about 60 - 80 minutes. Until an inserted toothpick comes out clean

                (insert it in the center)

9. Once it's done baking, let it cool completely before you flip it out

10. When it's cooled,  mix the (butter) milk and powdered sugar and drizzle it over

                the Gugelhupf

11. Decorate as you prefer - with blueberries, lemon zest, etc.

Et voilà - Bon appétit!
