Loganberry Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F and grease a 8" round baking pan very well.
• Sift first three ingredients together with 1/2 cup sugar.
• Beat egg; add milk and butter.
• Combine with dry ingredients only until no dry flour is evident (do not beat).
• Pour into prepared pan and sprinkle top with the berries.
• Cover with the remaining cup of sugar.
• Bake for about 35 minutes.

Steps:

• Measure flour and salt into medium bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or your fingers until it is the size of peas. Cut in the lard in the same way. Add water and mix until the dough begins to hold together. Divide dough into 2 balls, 1 just slightly larger than the other. Flatten each into a disc, about 5-inches in diameter and about 1-inch thick. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill. Pull dough from refrigerator 15 minutes before assembling pie.
• Roll the slightly larger disc into a circle measuring about 12 inches in diameter and line a 9-inch pie plate with this dough. Set aside. Roll the second disc into a 9 by 13-inch rectangle. Cut into strips for lattice. Set aside. Make pie filling.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Pull berries from the freezer and let thaw for 15 minutes. In a small bowl combine the sugars, tapioca, cornstarch, salt, and nutmeg. Pour the sugar mixture and the lemon juice over the berries. Stir to coat evenly. Pour the mixture in to the prepared dough lined pie pan, mounding the berries slightly in the middle. Assemble the lattice on top of the pie. Roll the bottom crust up over the lattice edges and crimp as desired. Brush the lattice with a thin coating of milk. Bake for 10 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F, and continue to bake for approximately 50 minutes, or until the middle of the pie is bubbling. During this cooking time, brush the lattice with milk and sprinkle with granulated sugar. If the edges start to brown too much, cover loosely with foil or a tart ring turned upside down. Remove the pie from the oven and cool on rack. Let the pie cool for 3 to 4 hours to let the filling set up. Serve warm or at room temperature with vanilla bean ice cream if desired.

Steps:

• Inspect seven 8-ounce jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jam is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
• Crush berries in a bowl. Place 1/2 of the crushed berries into a sieve or cheesecloth to remove some seeds if desired. Transfer all berries to a large pot.
• Stir in sugar and add butter to reduce foaming if desired. Bring mixture to a full rolling boil on high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in pectin quickly. Return to a full boil and boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and skim off any foam with metal spoon.
• Ladle jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/8 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and use a holder to lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by 1 to 2 inches. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 5 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.
