Blueberry Bacon Breakfast Cake. So… I did this. Blueberries. Bacon. Together. For breakfast. In dessert form. I mean… I made a cake with bacon fat. We’re moving a little backwards here, what with dinner yesterday and breakfast today and then tomorrow… lunch. Ugh. The only thing that could make this whole blueberry bacon experience better was if I was eating it somewhere magical. Totally Team Pacey for life by the way. But this cake. The cake itself is nothing special – similar to your regular ol’ coffee cake cut into your typical square – but this time it’s laced with tons of bursting blueberries and super crunchy, salty bacon. I’m sure you know the answer to that. Blueberry Bacon Breakfast Cake [adapted from my eggnog crumble cake] makes a 9×13 dish 6 slices thick-cut bacon 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 2 tablespoons bacon fat, cooled 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled 1/2 cup loosely packed brown sugar 1/3 cup granulated sugar.

Sweet Corn Fritters with Jalapeno Whipped Cream, Strawberry Pineapple Salsa and Brown Sugar Tequila Syrup. But that’s not all. There are also strawberries and pineapple(s?) And brown sugar TEQUILA syrup and heaven. And brown sugar tequila syrup. Oh and I wear bright socks while I… live my life It makes things 131% better. Did I tell you there was brown sugar tequi… okay. This is another recipe from that dessert contest I judged a few weeks ago. This.is.gold. And the best part? And here’s the kicker: Erin clearly had to prepare this entire thing for 30 people – the fritters, the fruit, the whipped cream and the syrup – at her HOME, waaaaay before the contest began, and it was still fabulous. But I don’t know anyone who’d do that.

Anyhoo – while the combination of all four parts totally makes the dish, just trying the fritters, or the whipped cream on something crazy, or the syrup poured directly into your mouth is a wise idea. Jalapeno Whipped Cream 1 cup heavy cream 2 jalapenos (1 seeded, 1 not), cut in half 1 tablespoon powdered sugar Brown Sugar Tequila Syrup 3/4 cup loosely packed brown sugar.
