TWD -- Super-size it!

I wanted to join Tuesdays with Dorie in Feb. '08 but I was neck deep in a major renovation of our home and just could not commit to the recipe schedule. Then when we finally finished the house and I had time for Dorie, the blog roll was closed.


But just last week on St. Patrick's Day, it was announced "for one day only" the TWD blog roll was open for new members and I jumped at the chance. I was happy to see that my first official recipe for TWD would be Blueberry Crumb Cake because I already had this particular recipe bookmarked in my book!

I have 2-8"by8" pans. One is metal and about 25 years old and exactly 8"by8" and I have a newer Emile Henry pan but it is a bit bigger about 8 1/2" by 8 1/2". I decided to bake the crumb cake in the older 8"by8" pan and I wished I had baked in the bigger Emile Henry pan. I figured the crumb cake would rise quite a bit because the recipe called for 2 tsp of baking powder. But I did not think it would rise quite this much. My lord it kept rising and rising and finally started running over the sides of my pan!




Wholly Blueberry Batman...it's SUPER SIZED!











The week's TWD recipe is graciously hosted by Siham of Befuddlement by Sihan. Please visit Siham wonderful site if you'd like to read the Blueberry Crumb Cake recipe from Baking from my Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan.
