This Blueberry Muffin Cake recipe is great for breakfast or as a delicious snack any time of day. Makes a wonderful hostess gift too.
Have you ever tried making your favorite muffin recipe into a cake? I have this old blueberry muffin cake recipe that you bake in a loaf pan. It's great for guests or for taking to someone because you can eat it for breakfast or as a snack.
One of the first things you need to do is flour your blueberries. This helps the berries a little from sticking together.
A dusting of sugar on the top gives this cake a nice finish.
Here on the side, you can see that the berries did sink a little to the bottom but there is still a nice amount throughout the cake.
I really like the ratio of berries to batter in this recipe. I've been using 2 cups and might consider adding more.
The more the yummier. And since blueberries are so good for you how can you go wrong.

This looks so good and I love blueberries... When we lived on the farm there was a B/farm nearby. The college purchased it and ruined it. Made me so sad and I guess one day I'll just have to plant my own. Anyways - see I get so side tracked these days but what I wanted to say was a I think a drizzled lemon icing would be an amazing addition. Can you tell I'm craving something sweet.

Oh what shame about the blueberry farm Carole. You should definitely grow some. I keep thinking about it but haven't yet. We had a couple of bushes years ago on another property but the birds got to them first. I really needed to put a net over them. Lemons icing sounds perfect too. I'm going to try that next. Thanks.
