Summer Blueberry Cake
Hi everyone,
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, the kids are going back to school. Not only that but it’s still summer in California when they do,
giving me more time for summer baking. And what would summer be without a blueberry cake?
I love summer fruit desserts, what I don’t like is spending a lot of time making them.
This blueberry cake comes together quick, is simple and can be on your table in less than a hour.
Blueberries tend to sink to the bottom in cakes, in this recipe we put them on top of the batter.
Rolling berries in flour also prevents the helps to keep them from looking like a upside cake.
I like to use a spring form pan for this recipe, it releases the cake easily and makes a pretty presentation.
If you don’t have a spring form pan use a square or round cake pan.
To make it more elegant for special occasions, I drizzle it with a lemon glace, sprinkle it with powered sugar and almonds.
Oh and don’t forget the ice cream….
Summer is exciting, not only for warm , lazy days laying in the hammock daydreaming, although I love these simple pleasure,
I look forward to the fruits and vegetables of the Summer . My food becomes more relaxed, not so fussy in Summer.
This recipe is a prefect example, using fresh berries, but if fresh isn’t in season I’ve used frozen,
no one knew the difference but me.
