Blueberry Buttermilk Cake. Blueberries were on sale this week at my supermarket…only 99 cents a pint!
I promptly made several trips to the store and bought as many blueberries as I could possibly buy in one trip. My mom did the same. We now have more blueberries than we can possibly eat while still fresh, but whatever. So many blueberries in my fridge only forces me to make many, many, many blueberry things…I see no problem with this. I decided I wanted to make something simple, an everyday sort of cake that required few ingredients, little time to prepare, and no decorating. Feel free to substitute the blueberries in the recipe for any other type of berry that you prefer or have on hand. Blueberry Lemon Buttermilk Cake, perfect for anyone who loves berries, or anyone who just wants to make a super easy cake. Blueberry Buttermilk Cake Ingredients · 1 cup all-purpose flour · ½ teaspoon baking powder · ½ teaspoon baking soda · ¼ teaspoon salt · ¼ cup (half a stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature.
Cranberry Orange & Pecan Coffee Cake. This weekend I found myself in one of those expensive clothing boutiques that I really… really had no business being in.
You know those stores: random things cost three hundred dollars and you have no idea why. Yea… I realized something crazy ridiculous while browsing around. The only sizes displayed on the racks were sizes 0, 2, and 4. I ran across the occasional size 6 but those were like seeing a unicorn in a coffee shop.
Um…. this business practice does not at all agree with my thighs. It’s like… Ok, fancy boutique, I see the ways in which you glorify size tiny while simultaneously work to undermine my confidence… but I happen to be happy with this body that I inhabit and I would hope that you would respect that, and reflect my needs among your offensively expensive offerings. Blueberry Boy Bait. I love desserts with an interesting name or story.
In my blueberry baking frenzy this weekend, I came across this recipe for Blueberry Boy Bait from Brown Eyed Baker. The recipe was entered into a Pillsbury Bake-off contest in 1954 by a 15 year old girl and was named this because it was the effect boys had when they ate her dessert. One bite and they were hooked! I wondered if the cake would have a similar effect on Boyfriend… The cake tasted a bit like a coffee cake, but not quite as dense or sweet.

Strawberry Cake « Cake. Have you ever invented a cake?
Not discovered. Invented. No? Me neither. Strawberry buttermilk cake. I woke up yesterday wanting cake. Not wanting to eat cake, so much, although that part is nice, but wanting to watch butter and sugar swirl in the mixer bowl and gradually turn into a smooth batter. This despite plans to make Danish dough, two Danish fillings, fajitas, grapefruit cookies (which didn’t happen because I’d gotten my mixer fix with the cake), and a batch of Tartine country bread dough to freeze (which didn’t happen because I ran out of flour).
No one said anything about being practical. I started poking around the internet for recipes, and chose this one because it uses buttermilk, which I have right now, and it wasn’t loaded with butter, which is always nice when you’re planning to eat cake for breakfast. I did not have any fresh berries, but I always keep strawberries in the freezer for our weekday smoothies. The cake was everything I’d been craving.

This is such an easy dessert. It looks a little fancy, doesn't it? Don't be put off. It only takes a few ingredients, and it doesn't even involve turning on the oven. I am a huge fan of icebox cakes (I even wrote a book about them!). Icebox cakes do usually call for some store-bought ingredients, but I like to tweak classic recipes to avoid boxed puddings and use simpler whipped cream or homemade custard. We recently gave you a basic formula for making a no-bake cake out of graham crackers, whipped cream, and any fruit. . → Read More: How To Make a No-Bake Icebox Cake This particular icebox cake is just as simple as it gets, inspired by the buckets of strawberries at the markets in late spring, and by my favorite dessert: strawberry shortcake.

Serves 8 to 12. Buttermilk Blueberry Breakfast Cake. I swear buttermilk is magic.
I’ve dwelled on this before. Buttermilk seems to turn everything to gold. Super-moist, super-delicious gold. Anyway, I needed a simple, summery, breakfasty, cake-like-but-not-dessert-like recipe to make this morning. One of Ben’s friends had crashed here last night, and I thought it only appropriate to treat him to a proper breakfast. Nobody. Summer Strawberry Buttermilk Cake.
