-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 box yellow cake mix -- Duncan Hines
1/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
8 ounces cream cheese -- room temperature
1 package instant vanilla pudding mix -- 3.4 ounce package
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 package frozen blueberries -- drained juice reserved
TOPPING
reserved blueberry juice
4 ounces softened cream cheese
powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a flour a 9x13 inch pan.
In a large bowl, stir together cake mix sugar, and vanilla
pudding. Make a well in the center and pour in eggs, cream cheese,
oil. Beat on low speed until blended. Scrape bowl, and beat 4
minutes on medium speed. Stir in blueberries. Pour batter into
prepared pan. Tap pan on counter 2 or 3 times to release air bubbles.
Bake in a preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until done. Let cool in pan.
Topping. Blend the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar to the
consistency of a cream cheese icing (I think it is 3 cups of powdered
sugar, but I'm not sure). I toss in sugar by the handful & blend
until I like the consistency. Add reserved blueberry juice a
tablespoon at a time until you have thinned the icing to somewhere
between icing and a glaze. Spread on cake.
Very flavorful & very moist.
NOTE: If you don't like the color the blueberry juice makes the
icing, you could add vanilla or almond extract and milk to the
icing/glaze to thin it out.
To "pump up" the blueberry flavor I use 2 tsp of blueberry extract to
the cake batter and 1 tsp of extract to the icing. The extract is
clear. I buy mine from www.spicesetc.com

NOTES : The original recipe called for this to be a pound cake &
baked in a bundt pan, but I find that a 9x13 pan and serving as a
coffee cake works best.
