Blueberry Sour Cream Cake

"A rather unique, delicious, sour cream cake, since the sour cream is not mixed into the batter, but layered on top prior to baking. When the whipped cream topping is added, it makes an impressive looking dessert. (Prep time does not include chilling time)"

  1. Talk about rich! but ever so good. Great recipe. Thank you.
     
  2. Absolutely Delicious, almost sinful :) Thank you Dee514 Tip: I always line the bottom of my springform pans with parchment paper and then I spray the paper with Pam...no sticking, ever... it's so much easier to transfer the finished cake to a serving platter this way.
     
  3. Wow this is almost the same recipe out of a quick and easy cookbook that I made. Take away the topping (this is rich beyond words even without it) and add 1/4 t cardamom and 1/4 t grated lemon peel and reduce sugar to 1/3C for each layer. The only problems I had were the bottom layer was almost like a biscuit consistincy so I had to use my fingers to mash it into the pan. The second problem was that after letting it cool but before putting in the fridge make sure you REMOVE from pan. Despite greasing the pan, this dessert had to be chiseled out after 2 days in the fridge. This had an amazing flavor and texture sort of like a supreme cheesecake. Next time I will try raspberries or strawberries for a change of pace. Thanks for posting
