Last summer, since we were living in Seattle, the family and I went to the local picking farms and picked huge bags of strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. It was amazing having fresh fruit on hand, and ton in the freezer! Since we moved to Texas, finding picking farms has been next to impossible. I have found peach farms and a few others, but unfortunately, no berries. Since we all love blueberries in our morning treats, nowadays we try to buy a big container from the store and keep it in the fridge. Not nearly as fun since we didn’t get to pick them, but hey, blueberries are blueberries, right??
A few days ago, I whipped this up for the family and it was definitely a hit! It wasn’t overly sweet, so perfect with my morning cup of coffee. Using ingredients I already had on hand, I had a breakfast cake that ended up feeding us for a few days! Juicy blueberries, slightly sweetened cake, all in one pan; definitely a winner!!
