Melt in Your Mouth Blueberry Cake By Marjorie Standish A Quote from Mrs. Standish at the beginning of the recipe. A story goes with the first choice of cake recipes. Taken from one of our Maine church cookbooks, it is undoubtedly the most popular recipe ever used in my column. * Please Note that I doubled recipe from its original to fit a 9 X 13 X 2 inch baking pan. Ingredients: 4 Eggs separated 2 tsp. Baking Powder 1 C. Sugar 2/3 C. Milk 1 C. Shortening 3 C. Fresh Blueberries 3 C. Sifted Flour Now before I begin to tell you how to make this. To make this come out good, I use Butter Flavored Crisco, Gold Metal Flour and Rumford Baking Powder. Use as you choose but, when it comes to making it the best. Trust these ingredients. My mother swore by all of them for many years. Beat egg whites until stiff. Add a little Cream of Tartar to keep them firm when beating them, and ¼ cup of the Sugar. Cream the shortening; add salt and vanilla to this. Add remaining sugar gradually. Add unbeaten egg yolks and until light and creamy. Add in sifted dry ingredients alternately with the milk. The mixture will be stiff. Fold in the Beaten Egg Whites. The Best advice to do this, is to do it with a wooden spoon in a figure 8 motion. Do not change Directions or the cake will not rise. Fold in the Fresh Blueberries. (Take a bit of the flour called for in the recipe and gently shake the berries in it so they won’t settle.) Turn the mixture into a Greased 9 X 13 X 2 inch baking pan. Sprinkle the top of the batter with granulated sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes. This won’t last long at any Picnic!
