Cuisine: British

Serves: 12

Ingredients

4 1/2 teaspoons dry yeast
1 Cup warm water
1/2 Cup sugar
1 Tablespoon sugar; for dusting
1 1/8 teaspoons salt
3 eggs
1/2 Cup softened butter; 1 stick
1/3 Cup nonfat powdered milk
2 Cups all-purpose flour
3 Cups bread flour
1 Cup blueberries or raspberries; fresh or thawed
nonstick cooking spray; for greasing
2 Tablespoons melted butter
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon; for dusting

Instructions

Whisk together yeast and water. Add sugar, salt, eggs, butter, powdered milk and most of all-purpose and bread flours and combine well until a sticky, elastic dough is formed. Fold in blueberries. Cover bowl with a tea towel and let batter rest 30 minutes.
Pour batter into generously greased 9 or 10-inch angel food cake pan. Cover pan lightly with greased wax paper and let batter rise until it nearly reaches top of pan, about 1 hour. Drizzle on melted butter and dust with 1 tablespoon sugar and cinnamon.
Place cake pan on baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees until nicely browned, about 40 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan and placing on a wire rack to cool completely.
