Member Recipe Review: Blueberry Lemon Breakfast Cake

Written Tuesday, January 26th, 2010 by Penny Hawkins

Blueberries and lemon are one of those classic flavor combinations that are just meant to go together, a fact that is perfectly illustrated after one bite of  BnB Finder's Blueberry Lemon Breakfast Cake.

This moist, delicious cake is ideal for breakfast or brunch accompanied by a mug of coffee, or a cup of your favorite tea. Not too heavy or sugary-tasting, this cake is a perfect  balance of sweet juicy blueberries, and the bright, tart, flavor of the lemons. 

This recipe was absolutely perfect as it was written, but, when I spotted some buttermilk in the fridge, I couldn't resist trying it in place of the regular milk. It added a pleasant  tangy flavor, and helped ensure a moist, tender cake. I should also add that I made this recipe in a loaf pan because after I got the batter made, it didn't look like it was enough to fill my Bundt pan. There's nothing sadder than a wimpy, undersize bundt cake, so I opted for using a loaf pan. I also found that it needed an extra 15 minutes baking time, but I suggest you start checking at 50 minutes since oven temps vary.

I recommend this recipe as both easy and delicious..perfect when you want a not-too-sweet treat, or something special for brunch when you have friends or family over...it's a real winner! On my beancounter husband's scale of 1 -10, this cake got an 8. He took it to work and said it was gone in a flash (and poor man only got one piece)!
