{blueberry breakfast cake}

Blueberry breakfast heaven!  Promise!

My girl is a Starbucks blueberry muffin lover.  She’d eat one every single day and never complain.  I have to admit, they are pretty delicious.  Well, this is just that….it’s like a giant Starbucks blueberry muffin cake.

Last weekend Bailey had her bestie Ruby for a sleepover.  So, I woke up extra early Sunday morning to whip this up for them.  I figured it was only appropriate to treat the girls to a proper breakfast, right?

Lets be real, I was craving carbs and sugar.  I made it for myself!  Damn it, what is wrong with me?!?!  Just give me the carbs and nobody gets hurt…lol.

Anyway, I knew Bay would wake up to the smell of blueberry cake in the oven.  Annnnddd, I was right!

Is it just me, or does buttermilk turn baked goods into gold?!?!

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
• 1 teaspoons lemon zest
• 1 cup + 1 tablespoon sugar for sprinkling
• 1 egg, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 cups flour (set aside ¼ cup to toss with the blueberries)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups fresh blueberries
• 1/2 cup buttermilk

 

I N S T R U C T I O N S:

Preheat the oven to 350.

Cream butter + lemon zest + 1 cup of the sugar until light and fluffy.

Add egg + vanilla, beat until combined.

In a bowl, toss the blueberries with ¼ cup of flour and set aside.

Whisk together the remaining flour + baking powder + salt.

Add the flour mixture to the batter a little at a time.  Alternating with the buttermilk.

Gently fold in the blueberries.

Butter a 9-inch square baking pan. Spread batter into pan (it will be very thick)

Sprinkle batter with remaining tablespoon of sugar.

Bake for 35 to 45 minutes. Check with a toothpick for doneness.

Let cool at least 15 minutes before serving.

That batter though…..

Pure blueberry cake heaven, I tell ya!

This cake is beyond easy and it goes soooo well with a cup of coffee.  Make this for your peeps Thanksgiving morning.  Or Christmas morning.  Or better yet, tomorrow morning 🙂
