Last month, I picked up a copy of Bryan Voltaggio’s new cookbook, Home<\/em>, while he was making an appearance at a Barnes & Noble in Frederick. I’ve been to all of his restaurants often, and was looking forward to preparing some of my favorites at, well, home.<\/p>\n

I assumed the first recipe I’d attempt would be his Chicken Pot Pie Fritters<\/a>, but when a friend invited us to her 60th birthday party, I realized I’d have to start with something else, because fritters don’t travel. So I decided to whip up the Blueberry Cake with Peanut Streusel, which according to the cookbook photo is to supposed to turn out looking like this.<\/p>\n

You’ll get to see how mine compares down below, but first, a few photos of what came before, starting with the streusel.<\/p>\n

Here I am folding the blueberries into the batter, which put the entire cake off limits to my wife—she hates<\/em> blueberries!<\/p>\n

Into the springform pan goes the batter, making use of a spatula designed by Voltaggio and his son Thatcher which was sold to raise funds for the charity No Kid Hungry. <\/p>\n

Here’s the batter with the streusel sprinkled on top, ready for the oven …<\/p>\n

… and here it is 65 minutes later, ready to be glazed.<\/p>\n

And here’s the cake, completed!<\/p>\n

I’m afraid I went a little Jackson Pollock with the glaze, so it doesn’t have the elegance of Voltaggio’s as picture above. But hey, it tasted great regardless!<\/p>\n

Would you care for a slice?<\/p>\n

As you can see by the state of the pan when we left the party, it was popular choice.<\/p>\n

Next up—those Chicken Pot Pie Fritters. Though I’ve got to admit, the Bacon-Wrapped Corn on the Cob sounds very<\/em> tempting!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
