One of the ways Mom fed our large family was to make use of wild berries growing in the area. Huckleberries were one of her favorites when we were living in Idaho. She loved making huckleberry pancakes with huckleberry syrup. Dad was the biggest fan of her cooking and made sure she had plenty to cook with. He enjoyed driving the back roads in the mountains and one of the most enjoyable trips in the fall was going huckleberry picking. When the berries were plentiful, Mom tried new recipes and came up with this delicious Huckleberry Cake.
Ingredients:
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup shortening (Crisco)
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 1/2 cup flour
2 teaspoons Watkins baking powder
1/4 teaspoon Watkins nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon Watkins cinnamon
2 cups huckleberries dusted with 1-2 Tablespoons flour
Directions:
Wash and drain berries. (I substitute blueberries since I don't have any huckleberries.) Cream together sugar and shortening. Separate eggs. Beat egg whites and set aside. Beat yolks and add to milk. Stir beaten yolks and milk into creamed mixture. Sift dry ingredients together and add to batter. Fold in egg whites. Gently fold in berries that have been mixed in flour. Bake in 13 x 9" pan. Sprinkle top with granulated sugar. Bake at 375° for 35 minutes.
