Lemon Blueberry Tortilla Layer Cake / #LemonWeek

Tweet

Today for #LemonWeek I made a fun and easy treat, a Lemon Blueberry Tortilla Layer Cake! This recipe is simple to put together, has tasty fruits involved, such as lemon 😊, and will satisfy your urge for whipped cream, at least for a while! 

  

I used some special flour tortillas to use as the layers. This recipe is totally no bake. I whipped up some whipping cream to use as the frosting portion of the cake. Add some lemon and blueberries and you will have a delicious, quick to put together, last minute snack cake!

Cake Decorating Tip 

Cake Decorating Bag

   Place one tortilla on a clean surface. 

    Using a zester, apply lemon zest and the berries to      the top of the whipped cream.         

  

Add a tortilla to the top of the  blueberries. Add the lemon zest and the blueberries to the top like you did to the first tortilla.  Then add a third tortilla to the top of the stack.

 Add a whipped cream layer on top of the tortilla. This layer will get just a few blueberries. Cut a thin slice of lemon, twist it on to the top. Zest more lemon to the top layer and add yellow sprinkles and a few blueberries.

Enjoy!

Blueberry Lemon Naan Bread Appetizer / #BlueberryWeek

Tweet

If you are a blueberry lover, this is the week for you! I have joined in with some blogging friends to offer a fun and tasty week of blueberry recipes! There are so many lip smacking blueberry ideas to check out, that I think I need a trip to the market for more berries!

I am starting the week with a Blueberry Lemon Naan Bread Appetizer. It is definitely on the sweet side of appetizers, and I think it would make an excellent dessert also. I used a new favorite product I found, called Naan Dippers. They are little Naan Breads that are only 2-3 bites in size. 

This recipe can be made in small pockets of time. The creamy topping and the chunky blueberry sauce can be made and refrigerated until it is time for your event.

 Blueberry Lemon Naan Bread Appetizer
 (makes 10-15 appetizers)
 (printable recipe at end of page)

 Creamy Topping
12 ounces Cream Cheese, softened 
6 tablespoons Sour Cream, softened
2 tablespoon Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla

Blueberry Sauce
1/2 cup Sugar
1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
1 pint fresh Blueberries
1/2 teaspoon Cornstarch
1 teaspoon Water
1 tablespoon fresh Lemon Juice 

Naan Bread Dippers
additional Lemon Zest and Blueberries for topping 


 

Mix together the softened cream cheese and the sour cream. Add in the sugar and the vanilla. Refrigerate until ready to assemble the dish.

 In a medium size pan, add the sugar and the lemon zest. Bring it to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. You will want to do this on a medium low to medium heat. You want to be careful not to burn the sugar. (don't ask me how I know!!)

Add the blueberries and cook over medium heat, lightly crushing the berries as you are stirring. Do this for about 10 minutes. The berries should be soft be then. While you are waiting the ten or so minutes, add the corn starch and water together in a small bowl. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the sauce and cook until it has thickened just a bit and it is slightly shiny. You will feel it has thickened as you are stirring. Add the lemon juice, stir it into the mix and remove the pan from the heat. Let cool. If you are making ahead, refrigerate.

The naan breads are really too small for the toaster. If you have a toaster oven you might be able to toast them in there. I used the method of toasting in a dry fry pan. Heat the pan, but do not add anything else. Once it is warm, add the breads. Keep an eye on them, turning them whenever you think is best, depending on how toasted you want them. They take approximately 3 minutes per side. If you don't want the breads toasted, the appetizer will still taste fantastic. The toasting helps keep the breads stiff for eating.

Use a #3M size decorating tip and a decorating bag to squiggle the cream mix onto the toasted Naan bread. You could also spread it on with a knife.

I placed approximately a teaspoon of sauce in the middle of the cream. If you put too much, the blueberry mix will start to fall off. 

 Add a berry or two wherever you think it may need it on each of the breads. Add some lemon zest to make it look pretty. See how the blueberry sauce is following in the lines on the cream made from the #3M decorating tip. That is why I used that tip. I was looking for that effect. 

I hope you will give this recipe a try. If you are a blueberry lover, I know you will love this Blueberry Lemon Naan Bread Appetizer! Let me know what you think and don't forget to keep reading to find many more blueberry recipes to enjoy!

Lemon Curd / #FarmersMarketWeek

Tweet

Lemon Curd has been a part of cooking history for a long time now, since sometime around the late 19th century, and if you haven't yet made Lemon Curd, you might want to give it a try. It has a deep, but not overwhelming, lemon flavor that tastes fantastic when used as a simple spread over a piece of toast, or as fancy as the filling in a triple layer birthday cake. 
Lemon Curd is easy to make, and takes very little time. It keeps in the refrigerator for approx. 2 weeks, but it won't last that long!

Lemon Curd
(printable recipe at end of page)

1/3 cup Sugar 
2 teaspoons Cornstarch
2 teaspoons Lemon Peel, finely shredded
1/4 cup Lemon Juice
1/4 cup Butter
2 Eggs, beaten

Use a medium saucepan and mix together the sugar, cornstarch, lemon peel and lemon juice over medium heat. Place beaten eggs in a medium bowl and set aside.

Add butter and stir.

Stir while it becomes thick and bubbly.

 Add half of the lemon mixture to the eggs. Stir.

Pour all the egg mix into the pan with the rest of the lemon mixture. Cook and stir for 2 more minutes. Remove from heat. Cover with wax paper and cool.

Once you make this, you will wonder where it has been all your life! Lemon Curd has so many uses. It can be filling in a layer cake, it can be spread on biscuits or toast. It is awesome in puff pastry, parfaits and cookies. They are so many uses! How will you use your Lemon Curd? Tell me about it on my Instagram page!

Grandma's Lemon Meringue Pie/#SundaySupper

Tweet

Today at #SundaySupper we are honoring our grandparents by celebrating Grandparent's Day!
My grandmother passed away many years ago, but she was a wonderful cook, and I always remember her making Lemon Meringue Pie. I don't have the recipe that my Grandma used to make her creamy, luscious pie, but I found one that taste very close, and just a bite of one piece sent me back in time to another life! I love how food brings wonderful memories flooding back.  I think Grandma would like this pie!

Improv Challenge~Simple Lemon Pound Cake

Tweet

This months Improv Cooking Challenge is upon us again!! This month our two products to use are  Lemon and Sour Cream. A lot of different recipes went thru my head. I thought about dips, certainly appropriate for all the football parties going on everywhere. I considered some type of bread, but I just wasn't sure. I finally decided on a Lemon Pound Cake that I have baked several times in the past.  It's a simple cake, and if you are a lemon lover, it's perfect!

Simple Lemon Pound Cake 
(adapted from Southern Living)

Ingredients:

1 cup Butter, softened

2 1/2 cups Sugar

6 large Eggs, separated

3 cups Flour

1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda

8 oz. Sour Cream

1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

1 teaspoon Lemon Extract

2 tablespoon Grated Lemon Rind

1/2 cup Sugar

Confectioners Sugar

Prep Work:

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.

Make sure your butter is softened.

Separate your eggs, into 2 different bowls

 Mix your baking soda into the flour.

Grate your lemon rind.

Grease and flour pan.

Cream your butter on medium speed.

Add your sugar, and beat, still on medium for 4-5 minutes.

I don't have any pictures of this, but add your egg yolks only,

1 at a time, beating after each one.

Now, we are going to add flour and sour cream alternately.

Starting with the flour and baking soda mixture, 

add some to your butter mix.

I usually scoop 2 spoonfuls each time.

Let the mixer mix in the flour mix.

Add a spoonful of sour cream.

Alternate with each until it has all be added.

You don't have to stop the mixer each time, but you 

might want to when you are adding the sour cream.

You don't want to be hit by flying batter!

Because you started with the flour,

the last thing in should be the last of the flour.

Add your lemon extract and vanilla extract.

Add your grated lemon rind.

Mix well.

Now we are going to make meringue.

If you don't have another mixer, put your batter in 

a large bowl until you are done making the meringue.

In your bowl, add your egg whites. 

Beat until foamy.

While the whites are mixing, add the sugar,

1 tablespoon at a time, until the peaks are stiff.

Gently fold the meringue into the batter. 

Pour batter into prepared pan.

 Bake at 325 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.

Let cool on rack for 10 - 15 minutes, 

then remove from pan.

Sprinkle with confectioners sugar.

Cake can  be served warm or room temperature.

Enjoy!
