This blueberry cake is something that I started making this last summer when fresh blueberries were everywhere, but you can definitely use frozen blueberries too, just make sure they’re totally thawed out. Either way, it’s so delicious. It’s really simple to make and turns out great every single time (which is amazing for me, because I have kind of a consistency problem when it comes to baking).

4. Take ¼ cup from your 2 cups of flour and toss it with the blueberries in a separate bowl.

5. In another separate bowl combine the remaining flour, baking powder, and salt and then mix half of it into the dough in the stand mixer. Add the buttermilk, and then mix in the rest of the flour mixture.

6. Fold in your blueberries.

7. Grease an 8 inch casserole dish and add the batter (which will be thick, more like dough than batter).

8. Bake for 45-55 minutes, until a toothpick or fork inserted in the center comes out clean.

    Yum! I love blueberries. Any kind of berry really. Lemon isn’t really my thing but I reckon I would like it in something like this.

    I just bought a MagicBullet blender in the holiday sales and started doing daily smoothies. I used to eat a lot of bread based things for breakfast, but the smoothies are so much better for me. I literally feel so much more energetic for it.

    Here’s my favorite smoothie: http://www.lifeplus1.me/home/2014/12/smoothies

    Do you ever do smoothies? I’m always looking for new recipes to try!

      I got addicted to smoothies (again) while on vacation! I’ll have to try your favorite smoothie… but I think I need to get a better blender first. What do you think of your MagicBullet?!

        I LOVE it! I can’t really compare it to anything else because this is my first blender (yes, I’m in my 30s and this is my first blender)…

        Its super easy to clean which I’ve heard can be a problem with other blenders and juicers. You also don’t lose any of the nutrients or fibers like you would with a juicer.

        It takes me 2-4 minutes flat to make my smoothie and clean up. Easy! :o)

    Oh my goodness! I actually don’t bake very often because, well, I kinda stink at it. I should definitely give this a try though because it looks so heavenly!
