Blueberry breakfast cake is a delightful treat that’s perfect for starting your day on a sweet note. Here’s a simple recipe to make a moist and flavorful blueberry breakfast cake:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk (you can use regular milk or a plant-based alternative)
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (if using frozen, do not thaw)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)
For the topping:
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, until well combined. The batter will be thick.
- In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour until they are coated. This will help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.
- Gently fold the coated blueberries into the batter until evenly distributed.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- In a small bowl, mix together the 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the batter.
- Bake the blueberry breakfast cake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the baking dish for about 10 minutes before serving.
- Slice the blueberry breakfast cake into squares and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea for a delicious start to your day!
