Blueberry Lemon Secret Tunnel Cake Recipes

FRESH BLUEBERRY-LEMON CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter and lightly flour the sides of a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
• Place blueberries in a bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon flour and 1 teaspoon lemon juice.
• Beat eggs and sugar in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer on high speed until thickened and light in color, at least 5 minutes. Mix in sour cream, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and salt on low speed until just combined. Add 2 cups flour and baking powder and mix until combined. Add lemon juice and lemon zest and mix well.
• Pour 1/2 the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Spread 1/2 the blueberry mixture over batter. Pour in remaining cake batter and spread remaining blueberries on top, pushing them halfway into the batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top is browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Remove outer ring from springform pan and let cool completely. Dust top of cooked cake with confectioners' sugar using a small sifter.

BLUEBERRY-LEMON SECRET TUNNEL CAKE

Steps:

• Place cake on serving plate. Cut a 3/4-inch-thick horizontal slice from top of cake; set aside. With small knife, cut a 1-inch-wide and 1-inch-deep tunnel inside center of cake, being careful to not cut through to bottom or side of cake. Remove cutout and reserve for other use. (See tip.)
• Add boiling water to gelatin mix in large bowl; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Add enough cold water to ice to measure 3/4 cup; stir into gelatin until ice is completely melted. Remove 1/2 cup gelatin; pour into separate medium bowl. Add COOL WHIP; stir with whisk until blended. Refrigerate 10 to 15 min. or until thick enough to spread.
• Meanwhile, refrigerate remaining plain gelatin 5 to 10 min. or until thickened. Stir in 3/4 cup blueberries; spoon into tunnel of cake. Replace top of cake. Frost cake with reserved thickened COOL WHIP mixture. Top with the remaining blueberries just before serving.
