Blueberry Boy Bait Cake

Blueberry Boy Bait Cake is a tasty, buttery, blueberry filled sheet cake that is topped with a layer of cinnamon sugar.

Blueberry Boy Bait Cake

How did Blueberry Boy Bait get its name? Evidently it was the name of a cake entered into the 1954 Pillsbury Bake Off, and won second prize. The baker said that it was named for it's irresistable pull on young men (the baker was 15).

Later, Cook's Country magazine decided to test the recipe and made a few changes, such as using butter instead of shortening in the cake. It's now also one of the recipes in America's Test Kitchen their new book, The Perfect Cake.

This cake is buttery and delicious. It's studded with blueberries and topped with a crunchy cinnamon sugar. It's great as a snack cake or even a breakfast cake.

The cake is super easy to make, and you can use either fresh or frozen blueberries. The recipe says it serves 12, but it could easily be stretched to serve double that.

I wish I could share the recipe with you but the publisher did not give permission. However, if you Google the name of the cake, you'll find that the recipe is readily available, for example, here. Or get the book! You won't regret it.
