Whole Wheat Orange and Blueberry Cake with Orange Glaze

Ingredients

  • 1/2 C butter
  • 1/4 C Coconut Oil
  • 1 T Orange zest
  • 1 C sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 t Vanilla
  • 3 C whole wheat flour (1/4 cup to toss with berries)
  • 3 t baking powder
  • 1 1/2 t kosher salt (unless using salted butter)
  • 3 c fresh blue berries
  • 1 c butter milk
  • Glaze:
  • 1/2 c Fresh orange juice
  • 1 T orange zest
  • 2 c confectioners (powdered) sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Cream butter and coconut oil with Orange zest and sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined.
  3. Toss the blueberries with 1/4 cup of the flour
  4. Whisk the remaining flour, baking powder and salt.
  5. Add flour mixture to the liquid and add the buttermilk.
  6. Fold in the blueberries.
  7. Line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment and a little cooking spray or use butter and flour to coat.
  8. Spread batter into pan. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Use a toothpick to check for doneness. Let cool at least 15 minutes before glazing.
  9. Making the Glaze:
  10. Add 1/4 c orange juice to the confectioners sugar.
  11. Add orange zest.
  12. Mix well. Add additional orange juice if the glaze is too thick. Glaze should be pourable.
  13. Poke holes in the top with a chopstick and pour glaze over top. Don't get crazy with the glaze since it does not harden. You could add less liquid and make it more like a frosting I suppose but this thing is pretty sweet as is.
